NEW Audio Recordings
Good News! Father Bart posted a number of homily recordings for you to revisit or share with others. Homilies on the Rosary, Scapular, passing on the Faith to our children, and more!
A devotion, also known as the Christmas Anticipation Prayer, starts on the feast day of St Andrew the Apostle, November 30, and ends on Christmas Eve – December 24. It consists in reciting the prayer found below 15 times each day. This is a very meditative prayer that brings about graces, increases our awareness of the real focus of Christmas and prepares us spiritually for His coming.
NOVENA
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, [here mention your request] through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. Amen.
[Recite the above prayer 15 times a day from November 30 to December 24]
