Feast of St. Andrew and Novena

Happy Feast of St. Andrew, everyone!know about the Novena that begins today and continues on through Christmas day, but I am posting it here in case someone needs it and wants to participate. We have so much to

 pray for.

NOVENA TO SAINT ANDREW
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 desires,
through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
and of His Blessed Mother.

Amen.

(It is piously believed that whoever recites the above prayer fifteen times a day
from the feast of St. Andrew, on November 30th, until Christmas will obtain what is asked.)

[Imprimatur: +MICHAEL AUGUSTINE, Archbishop of New York, New York, February 6, 1897.] (from: catholicdoors.com)
