Have you prayed the Christmas novena before? The novena begins each year on the Feast of St Andrew, November 30. Traditionally, this prayer is recited fifteen times daily until Christmas Eve, offering a beautiful way to fix our minds and hearts on the mystery of the Incarnation. You are warmly invited to pray the novena below.

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 the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. Amen.
