The St. Andrew Christmas Novena Prayer (prayed 15 times a day)
Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of a most pure Virgin at a stable at midnight in Bethlehem in the 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.
