The Saint Andrew Christmas Novena prayer: (to be said 15x a day until Christmas)

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.

Novena to the Immaculate Conception

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, didst prepare a worthy dwelling place for Thy Son, we beseech Thee that, as by the foreseen death of this, Thy Son, Thou didst preserve her from all stain, so too Thou wouldst permit us, purified through her intercession, to come unto Thee. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who livest and reignest with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

Day 9

O Mother of the King of the Universe, most perfect member of the human race, “our tainted nature’s solitary boast,” we turn to thee as mother, advocate, and mediatrix. O Holy Mary, assist us in our present necessity. By thy Immaculate Conception, O Mary conceived without sin, we humbly beseech thee from the bottom of our heart to intercede for us with thy Divine Son and ask that we be granted the favor for which we now plead…

(State your intention)

O Mary, the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ, thou hadst influence with thy Divine Son whilst upon this earth; thou hast the same influence now in heaven. Pray for us and obtain for us from him the granting of this petition, if it be the Divine Will. Amen.
