On November 30, we start the St.Andrew’s Christmas Novena prayer. It got its name because it starts on the feast day of St.Andrew. It is a very short and yet a deeply meaningful 25 day Advent prayer to prepare for Christmas. This prayer is directed to God Himself and helps us to think of the sacred moment in which Christ was born as a human through Blessed Virgin, to obtain our salvation.And so we pray:
St.Andrew’s Christmas 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 the 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.”

Dear Infant Jesus, crying so bitterly! You certainly have good reason to weep in seeing Yourself persecuted by us whom You love so much. I too have persecuted You by my sins but You know that now I love You more than myself. Forgive me, O Jesus and never permit me to be separated from You again.Sweetest Infant, in the name of thy blessed Mother Mary, comfort me, bless me and grant me the joy to praise you forever with all my heart. Amen
O Mary, my hope make me always live in God’s love and die loving Him. Amen.
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 through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother.Amen.
January 1 ( Friday ) Eighth Day
Reflection
God of all power willingly subjected Himself to human obedience.He obeyed His parents,and helped them in the household works,and went to temple with them.Though God,He led an ordinary life like any human,and toiled for the life on earth.Keeping this in mind,let us thank for His immense love and love Him more.
Prayer
O Jesus, my Saviour! When I consider how, for love of me You spent thirty years of Your life hidden and unknown in a poor workshop, how can I desire the pleasures and honours and riches of the world? Gladly do I renounce all these things, since I wish to be Your companion on this earth, poor as You were, mortified and humble as You were. I would rather lose my life a thousand times than lose Your grace by sin.Sweetest Infant, in the name of thy blessed Mother Mary, comfort me, bless me and grant me the joy to praise you forever with all my heart. Amen
O Mary, you are the refuge of sinners, be my hope.Amen.
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.

January 2 ( Saturday ) Ninth Day
Reflection
The omnipotent God endured all sufferings for our sake.He loved us so much that He died for us.Then shouldn’t we live for Him.Keeping this in mind,let us thank for His immense love and love Him more.
Prayer
O adorable Infant Jesus! I should not have the boldness to cast myself at Your feet, if I did not know that You Yourself invite me to draw near to You. Set me on fire with Your holy love and never let me stop loving You for evermore.Sweetest Infant, in the name of thy blessed Mother Mary, comfort me, bless me and grant me the joy to praise you forever with all my heart. Amen.
O Mary, Mother of Jesus and my Mother, you can obtain everything from your Son by your prayers. This is the only favour I ask of you. Do pray to Jesus for me.Amen.

30 Day Prayer to Saint Joseph
Ever blessed and glorious Joseph, kind and loving father, and helpful friend of all in sorrow! You are the good father and protector of orphans, the defender of the defenseless, the patron of those in need and sorrow.
Look kindly on my request. My sins have drawn down on me the just displeasure of my God, and so I am surrounded with unhappiness. To you, loving guardian of the Family of Nazareth, do I go for help and protection. Listen, then, I beg you, with fatherly concern, to my earnest prayers, and obtain for me the favors I ask.
I ask it by the infinite mercy of the eternal Son of God, which moved Him to take our nature and to be born into this world of sorrow.
I ask it by the weariness and suffering you endured when you found no shelter at the inn of Bethlehem for the Holy Virgin, nor a house where the Son of God could be born. Then, being everywhere refused, you had to allow the Queen of Heaven to give birth to the world’s Redeemer in a cave.
I ask it by the loveliness and power of that sacred Name, Jesus, which you conferred on the adorable Infant.
I ask it by the painful torture you felt at the prophecy of holy Simeon, which declared the Child Jesus and His holy Mother future victims of our sins and of their great love for us.
I ask it through your sorrow and pain of soul when the angel declared to you that the life of the Child Jesus was sought by His enemies. From their evil plan, you had to flee with Him and His Blessed Mother to Egypt.
I ask it by all the suffering, weariness, and labors of that long and dangerous journey.
I ask it by all your care to protect the Sacred Child and His Immaculate Mother during your second journey, when you were ordered to return to your own country.
I ask it by your peaceful life in Nazareth where you met with so many joys and sorrows. I ask it by your great distress when the adorable Child was lost to you and His mother for three days.
I ask it by your joy at finding Him in the temple, and by the comfort you found at Nazareth, while living in the company of the Child Jesus.
I ask it by the wonderful submission He showed in His obedience to you.
I ask it by the perfect love and conformity you showed in accepting the Divine order to depart from this life, and from the company of Jesus and Mary.
I ask it by the joy which filled your soul, when the Redeemer of the world, triumphant over death and hell, entered into the possession of His kingdom and led you into it with special honors.
I ask it through Mary’s glorious Assumption, and through that endless happiness you have with her in the presence of God. O good father! I beg you, by all your sufferings, sorrows, and joys, to hear me and obtain for me what I ask.
(Here name your petitions or think of them.)
Obtain for all those who have asked my prayers everything that is useful to them in the plan of God. Finally, my dear patron and father, be with me and all who are dear to me in our last moments, that we may eternally sing the praises of: JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH.
“A blameless life, St. Joseph, may we lead, by your kind patronage from danger freed.”
St. Joseph Rosary
Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Introductory Prayer
We unite with all the Angels and Saints in Heaven, with all the just on earth, and with all the faithful now praying. We unite with Thee, O my Jesus, in order to praise worthily Thy holy foster father St. Joseph, and to praise Thee in him and through him. We renounce all the distractions that we may have during this Josephian Rosary, which we wish to say with modesty, attention and devotion, just as if it were to be the last of our lives. We offer Thee, O most Holy Trinity, this Creed in honour of all the mysteries of our Faith; this Our Father and these three Hail Josephs in honor of the unity of Thy Essence and the Trinity of Thy Persons. We ask of Thee a lively faith, a firm hope and an ardent charity. Amen
On the crucifix
O Lord, in order to honor St. Joseph as he deserves, Thou hast taken him body and soul to Heaven to Crown him with glory, thus signifying to the world, both visible and invisible, that Thou hast made Joseph Thy foster- father, the supreme steward of all Thy possessions. We beseech Thee, O Lord, that we may find aid in the merits of the Spouse of Thy Most Holy Mother, so that what we cannot obtain by ourselves may be given us through his intercession, who lives and reigns with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
For the intentions of Holy Father, Pope Francis :
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
We salute you, St. Joseph, chosen by God the Father, as the guardian of Mary, Mother of God and Jesus her Son, and our Lord, and pray for the gifts of faith, hope and charity
3 * Hail Joseph, Son of David, thou whose holiness surpasses that of all Angels and Saints, blessed art thou amongst men, thou who wert chosen to be the Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary of whom was born Jesus.

O my Jesus forgive our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.
First Mystery : Betrothal to Mary, Annunciation to Joseph and the Birth and Naming of Jesus.
Scripture passage from Gospel according to Mt.1:18-25.
Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.
Mediate a moment on St. Joseph’s communication with God.
Prayer: Lord, help us to turn to You in all our difficulties and problems, and understand Your Holy will in all
that happen in our lives.

Second Mystery : Flight into Egypt.
Scripture passage from Gospel according to Mt.2:13 -15
When they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.” Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Scripture passage from Gospel according to Lk.2:43-48
After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances,but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions,and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers.When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.”

back quickly with a true repentant heart.
