The novena starts today on the Feast of St. Andrew and ends on Christmas Eve. Traditionally, you recite the prayer 15 times each day for the 25 days leading up to Christmas. Of course there are promises attached to any novena, but the prayer lends itself nicely to Advent and guiding our thoughts and our hearts toward that Holy Night where the greatest of all blessings was bestowed.

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

I'm trying to do this Novena but I keep missing days, and when I try again I feel bad, as if I'm cheating... :/ It's beautiful, though!
