St Andrew Christmas Novena Prayer
The St Andrew Christmas novena is to be prayed November 30- December 24 of every year.
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.

Hi Heather, I bought a pack of 100 holy cards with this novena last year. I will again be leaving them out a week before Nov. 30, in the various laundry rooms of my apartment complex this year. Many of my neighbors are Mexican-American, and, I assume, Catholic. (I have a number of underlying health issues that have kept me distant since moving here, due to Covid infection worries.)
On the back of the cards, under the prayer, is written, in parentheses:
“(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.)”
Well, it will be a call to prayer 15 times a day!
I did not have my prayer answered affirmatively last year. That said, I may not have prayed for that intention just at midnight, either!
God bless you and your family. Happy Advent and Christmas!
