Christmas Anticipation Prayer

devotional
The prayer

Hail and may the moment be blessed when the Son of God was born from the most chaste Virgin Mary, at the stroke of midnight, in Bethlehem, amidst the biting cold. In that sacred hour, I humbly implore You, O God, to hear my prayer and fulfill my intentions, [State your intention(s) here...] by the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and His holy Mother. Amen. (Starting from the Feast of St. Andrew the Apostle on November 30th, this prayer is traditionally recited 15 times daily up until Christmas. It serves as a meditative exercise to deepen our understanding of the true significance of Christmas and helps us spiritually prepare for His arrival.)
