Wait, that’s the Saint Andrew Novena?

Oops. I thought it started today (someone gave me a holy card with the prayer on it, and I could’ve sworn it started December 1).

Don’t worry about it. Just double up today and ask God, Who is not restricted to time as we are, to place the prayers in the correct slot. As far as I know, we don’t know with certainty that God will do that for us, but we have nothing to lose by asking Him.

Since we stop at midnight on the 24th, we must begin on Nov 30th, to enable us to complete 25 days of praying the novena. The prayer wasn’t started by St Andrew, and we’re praying directly to God, not asking for St Andrew’s intercession, but because it always begins on St Andrew’s Feast Day, Nov 30th, people began to call it the St Andrew Christmas Novena, apparently in order to distinguish it from the shorter 9-Day Christmas Novena that begins on Dec 16th, and lasts a day longer, through Christmas Day. 😇

The Saint Andrew Novena Begins Today!​

Nov 30th, 2012

by Gary Zimak.

One of my favorite devotions, The Saint Andrew Novena, begins today! It is piously believed that whoever recites this prayer fifteen times a day from the Feast of Saint Andrew (Nov 30) until Christmas will obtain what is asked. Does this mean that God will give you anything, even something that may be harmful to you spiritually? Fortunately, no! However, I have received miraculous favors since I started praying this novena a few years ago and I believe in its power.

Here’s EWTN’s Fr. Joseph Mary speaking about his personal experience with the St. Andrew Novena:


2nd Day — 9th Prayer — Sun 12-1

Here is the novena 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 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.

I don’t now how to do what you said. I type every single stroke with one finger on my phone. It is impossible for me to do that without thinking of the words. Likewise, I presume that anyone who reads the prayers, reads them word for word. It shouldn’t make a difference if one reads them from a prayer card, an Internet article, or here on CAF. The important thing is to say the prayer 15 times daily. Having it in front of us makes that more likely.

For us, the meaning of Christmas resonates in our hearts because we know, as Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen once said, that, “There are two births of Christ. One unto this world in Bethlehem, the other in the soul when it is spiritually reborn . . . both result from a kind of divine invasion.”

Thank you for telling us. It’s always gratifying to hear that someone else has been favorably impressed with devoting time to the same novena that we’re currently praying. 😇
