Image of a painting – The Nativity – by Antoniazzo Romano with text. St. Andrew Christmas Novena. (Said from Nov 30th to Dec 24th). 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. This is a good family prayer for each day during Advent. It is also a good prayer to say in front of a nativity scene.
