| Saint Andrew by artist Stephen B. Whatley |
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 prayer fifteen times a day from the feast of St. Andrew (November 30th) until Christmas will obtain what is asked.
The novena is not actually addressed to Saint Andrew but to God Himself, asking Him to grant our request in the honor of the birth of His Son at Christmas.
