One of my favorite devotions, The Saint Andrew Novena, begins tomorrow (November 30)! 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:
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.
We?ll be praying this novena every night until Christmas on my Following The Truth radio show. In addition to the spiritual benefits, it?s a GREAT way to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Why not give it a try?
Prayers for a blessed Christmas with my wife and son and a blessed year 2017 in work career and son education..
Need a miracle to inspire my son, daughter, daughter-in-law and grandsons to know & become closer to the Lord. Need a miracle that my oldest grandson finds himself, the direction and path in life he should take to become a good, Catholic, wholesome, useful, healthy, successful man. Need a miracle that my daughter gets the help she needs to overcome PTSD, become closer to God, the Catholic religion she was raised into, get & stay healthy, useful & successful and that she loves and finds love in return with the person the Lord has selected for her. Need a miracle for me to stay healthy, holier & happier – that my desires & wants match what the Lord wants & plans for me. I believe in miracles. I believe the Lord loves me and my family.
