It is piously believed that whoever recites the below prayer fifteen (15) times a day from the Feast of St. Andrew (November 30th ) until Christmas will obtain what is asked.

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, I beseech Thee, 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.

Your Divine will. Give our citizens the courage to
choose leaders of our nation who respect the sanctity
of unborn human life, the sanctity of marriage, the
sanctity of marital relations, the sanctity of family,
and the sanctity of aging. Grant us the wisdom to
give You, what belongs to You, our God. If we do
this, as a nation, we are confident You will give us an
