Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

St. Andrew Chaplet Giveaway


Advent is nigh (can you believe it?). There are just two weeks until the Feast of St. Andrew, and then two days later is the first Sunday in Advent.

I plan to pray the St. Andrew Chaplet during Advent, as is the tradition, and to help you along, if you want to pray it, too, I am giving away one of my chaplets. I made several, and put them in my Etsy shop, so if you don't win, you can browse there. The proceeds of the chaplets go to our local Pregnancy Decision Health Center, committed to greater compassion for women facing an unplanned pregnancy.




Chaplet prayer:

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.







The beads on this chaplet are purple Drug glass beads, strung on flexible steel wire with white pearl and grey glass seed beads. The St. Andrew medal is nickel.


To win the chaplet, leave your info in the comment box or email me (my address is in the sidebar). I'll give this chaplet away next Tuesday, November 20, and it will be to the winner by November 30. Please make sure you leave your contact information, or a way to find you later.

    It's lovely, as always! We did the chaplet last year for the first time, ever, and St. Andrew has been my patron saint for this year.

    Just reading the words to the prayer that I know so well, puts me in a different place. A beautiful, Advent-y place of faith-filled anticipation. I would cherish such a beautiful chaplet to hold in my own hand, while my babies surround me in their counting with stickers and felt :). God bless!

    Thank you for the chance! I got three of these chaplets from you three years ago, and sent two to friends who were also praying for another baby. They both have two-year-olds now, and my baby took a while longer, he's now almost six weeks old. :) i lobbied for Andrew as a first name, but conceeded to middle name instead. Thank you, St. Andrew!

    It's so beautiful. I'd love to be entered in the giveaway and I've also never used a chaplet, but have prayed this novena and it's very powerful. Thanks for doing this.

    I would love to win the Chaplet, I do say the prayer throughout Advent, but the beads would help me so much.

    I'd love to win, but if I don't, I need to make my own. Guess what? I took a beading class!! It's so cool. I have my own little tools now and know how to make bracelets & necklaces. I think I know everything I need to know to make a Rosary...but, I could never make them as beautiful as you, and I cannot do the wire wrapped thing.

    What a beautiful chaplet! I would love to win this. I have been praying this novena since I was a child. But my family adds lines at the end, which my mom was taught by her Dominican nuns in NYC back in the 50s. They are, "While deep silence reigned over all things and the night was in the midst of its course, the Almighty word came down from His throne. Alleluia".

    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Beth
