St Andrew the Apostle Novena

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,

[here mention your intentions]

through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ,

and of His Blessed Mother.

Amen.
