This Sunday, December 14, we had 20 guests at our house for a college graduation party. We have never had so many people in this small home, and there was harmony as well as good humor and fun. It went without arguments. I know it is grace! Thanks be to Our Savior and His Blessed Mother. from V.K. The St. Andrew Christmas novena is traditionally recited 15 times per day starting on November 30th and going through Christmas Day on December 25th. Since this novena is prayed during Advent, it perfectly helps us to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ as Christmas, one of the main purposes of the Advent season. One tip with this novena: if you have scrupulosity trying to pray the novena exactly 15 times per day, simply pray it every time it comes into your mind during each day. (Currently our app only supports nine-day novenas, so by popular demand we are adding in this novena starting at nine days before Christmas, but hope to support novenas of differing lengths soon.)
