"The Gift of Understanding raises me a step higher, and lets me enter into the very mystery of God. I begin to see ever so dimly how He lives in me and I live in Him, and this affects my interior life with God."

ST. ANDREW CHRISTMAS ANTICIPATION CHAPLET WRAP BRACELET
Prepare your heart for the birth of Christ with the treasured Advent tradition of praying the St. Andrew Christmas Anticipation Novena. This beloved novena, said to have originated in Ireland, honors St. Andrew, the first Apostle called by Jesus to His public ministry. Each prayer offers a moment to pause amid the busyness of the season and reflect on the mystery of the Incarnation—reminding us that Jesus is truly the reason for the season.
This Novena is translated from the Italian prayers of Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori and was first published in 1758. Although this novena is intended primarily as a preparation for the feast of Our Lord's Nativity, it can be used with spiritual profit at any time of the year as devotion in honor of the Infant Jesus. Also included along with the Novena is the St. Andrew Christmas Novena Prayer to Obtain Favors; an account of the Birth of Christ; a Litany for the Christmas Season; and other prayers. Paperback. 25 pages.
The back of this prayer card features the "Prayer to Obtain Favors" that reads: "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"
