Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born
St Andrew's 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 piercing cold.
In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee,
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.Read next: Australian teen swims 2.5 miles for hours to save family swept out to sea
