Ladies and Gentleman: Start your Christmas Novena Today!

Your challenge, should you accept it:  Try completing this simple novena.  It will change your outlook on Christmas and inspire good meditation on the Nativity of Our Lord.  His birth in humble means.  The trials Mary and Joseph faced to make it happen.  The circumstances of not even being welcome. 

All of the Old Testament is about this one day – the coming redeemer.  Look at how it happens.  Can you make this novena?  

Pious legends, especially those carrying the imprimatur, are relished around here.
One of the better ones is the St. Andrew Christmas Novena. It is pious tradition that whoever recites the following prayer 15 times per day each day from November 30 (Feast of St. Andrew) until Christmas will receive what is asked.

The 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 Savior Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. 

Amen.

Let me know if youve prayed it before.  Have you ever made it each and every day?

Have you received any favors by it?
