The Advent Prayer
To be said daily from November 30th, the feast of St. Andrew, until December 24th Imprimatur, Michael Augustine Corrigan, Archbishop of New York, Feb. 6, 1897
Hail and blessed be the hour and the 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 Savior Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen.
