Just a reminder that St. Andrew's Novena begins Nov 30, and ends on Christmas Eve. The prayer is recited 15 times a day, and it is piously believed that whoever prays this novena will obtain the favor they request. Our Lord blessed me with two amazing personal miracles that I attribute to this beautiful Christmas novena. Your prayer may be answered in the most unexpected way.
Well... my 3-year-old daughter is begging me for a baby sister, so I guess I'll take the plunge and give this a try. But if God grants me this, He better send me more grace and patience too.
I remember one year when I started the divine mercy novena the day before the feastday. I don't know if Heaven accepted it, but on Faith I did it and would do it again even if I forgot until the day before.
