Christmas Novena

It's that time of the year again.

The Christmas Novena begins on Sunday, November 29, and runs through Christmas Day. For anyone who might need the prayer repeated, or for any new sayers who might be interested, it is printed below:

HAIL, and blessed be the hour and moment At which the Son of God was born Of a most pure Virgin At a stable at midnight in Bethlehem In the piercing cold At that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, To hear my prayers and grant my desires (mention request[s] here).

Through Jesus Christ and His most Blessed Mother.

(Say 15 times each day)

This is a very powerful prayer, and has brought about many positive changes and spiritual growth in my life. It is also a very good and prayerful way to increase our awareness of the coming Advent season.
