It is a beautiful prayer. I promise it will heighten your anticipation of Christ's holy birth and help you to focus on the real beauty of Christmas morning during this busy time.
Welcome, lovely Advent and all the beauty you bring to my household!
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, 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.
I'll post the novena in my sidebar from now until Christmas day for anyone who would like to join (and who, like me, need an explicit reminder!).

Thank you for the reminder! I've posted the prayer and will be joining you for a very special intention.
(The object of my intention lives very near you, by the way. Please offer up a prayer for her.)
Thanks for posting this, Kristen. Today's been tough and your timing is perfect.
What a beautiful novena and what perfect timing. Thanks for sharing....Kelli
This is our first year praying it. I almost forgot tonight, b/c my husband is in bed with a headache and usually we pray it together. So I will pray it alone tonight. I am loving it and our prayer request was answered after the FIRST night of the prayer.
