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.
Beautiful prayer, isn't it? Prayed fifteen times a day, from November 30 -- the feast of St. Andrew -- until Christmas, it is longer than the nine-hour/day novena, but I imagine it makes it much more likely that your prayers will be heard. I'll be praying. Join me?
This little chaplet makes it easier to keep track of your prayers, and I move a little hook each time I pray. I'll give this little chaplet away on Wednesday -- November 30, and you can pray on your fingers until it arrives in the mail. Just leave your name and contact info in the comment box (please make sure I can access an email address or I won't put your name in the hat -- I will check).
Oh, that is so very pretty! Please enter me :)

I was just thinking earlier today that I'd like to try and pray the St. Andrew novena this Advent. But I kept wondering, "How will I keep track?" Your chaplet is so lovely, Barbara! It would be a joy to win!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful chaplet! I would love to pray with it.

Dear Barbara - thanks for reminding me of this chaplet. We prayed it last year - I learned of it from here. We'd love to win the beautiful chaplet you made. elisa129{at}gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this beautiful novena. I will be praying with you.
ReplyDeletedebmomx5@sbcglobal.net
Ooo, me too please!! I'm determined to complete this novena this year!!
ReplyDeleteMy firstborn arrived on Nov. 30, many years ago. She is now away from the faith, so I can't think of a better way to pray her back...
ReplyDeleteYou do not have to put my name in the drawing, as I already have a little chaplet that I LOVE. :)
ReplyDeleteJust popping in to say that this is so very pretty. You've made St. Andrew proud, I'm sure!
PS. And yes, I will be joining you.
Please enter my name, Barbara. And whether I win or not, I'll be praying this, my favorite novena of all, with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your generosity!
