For December, we’ll be broadcasting the St. Andrew Novena prayer. We’ll also pray the “O Antiphons” through the last week of Advent. Keep an ear out for them as you listen to your favorite Catholic programming on The Rock Catholic Radio!
Saint Andrew Christmas 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 piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, 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.
O Antiphons
