Even though it is quite late, I still would like to share this beautiful prayer for Christmas.
The Saint Andrew Christmas Novena, often called the "Christmas Novena" or the "Christmas Anticipation Prayer," starts at December 1,the feast day of Saint Andrew! It is a beautiful and powerful prayer that you pray 15 times every day from the Feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle (November 30) until Christmas. This beautiful prayer takes only a few minutes to pray every day, and is a great way to help focus your attention on the Advent season, as we await the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day.
If you've never prayed this before, today is the perfect day to start! Just pray it slowly, really meditating on the words. You can say the 15 prayers throughout the day, or all at once. Remember to mention your intentions.
Saint Andrew Christmas Novena:
"Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my request (mention your intentions here), through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen."
