The St. Andrew/Christmas Novena
Say 15 times a day from St. Andrew’s Day (30 November), ending on Christmas Eve
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.
(It is piously believed that whoever recites the above prayer fifteen times a day from the feast of St. Andrew, on November 30th, until Christmas will obtain what is asked.)
[Imprimatur: +MICHAEL AUGUSTINE, Archbishop of New York, New York, February 6, 1897.]

Thanks for posting this!
You’re welcome!
THANK YOU COLLEEN
MY MOM FOUND THIS PRAYER SOME 40 YEARS AGO AND WE’VE SHARED IT AND PRAYED IT.
I WANTED TO SHARE IT ON FB AND FOUND IT ON YOUR WEBSITE
I ENJOY YOUR WRITINGS
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU, HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE YOU AND OUR LADY CONTINUE TO BE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PURE.
Thank you, Juanita! And may our Lord and Lady (and St. Andrew!) protect you always.
I prayed to St Andrew to find the best site to get his Novena. I found yours, so I can also upload onto FB. Personally he worked for me. The day after Christmas I was offered the best job I ever had in my life. That job ended and I’m doing another Novena to him again. I named my son Andrew so I am confident he hears my pleas. Thank you Colleen for posting it.
I’m glad good St. Andrew guided you here, Priscilla! So few people call upon the saints…and they have so many graces to share with us. They must have BUCKETS waiting to pour down upon us this Christmas!!!! May good St. Andrew answer your prayers AGAIN!!!! <3
Here’s another Christmas Novena. It’s not to St. Andrew, but still pretty cool
