CHRISTMAS ANTICIPATION PRAYER


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,

[State your intention(s) here...]

through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, 
and of His blessed Mother.

Amen.

(Beginning on St. Andrew the Apostle's feast day, November 30th, the following prayer 
is traditionally prayed 15 times a day until Christmas. This is a very meditative prayer 
that helps us increase our awareness of the real focus of Christmas and helps us prepare 
ourselves spiritually for His coming.)
