Please pray for my dear friend Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R. who could use our prayers. I was so blessed to spend time with him recently and he sends his very best, by the way. He thanks you very much for your prayers and he prays for you. Thank you dear Friends for keeping him in your prayers. EWTN announced on television yesterday that dear Father is in his last days. The CFR Friars put it this way: “Please pray for him as he is preparing to journey to the house of Our Father.”<\/p>\n

Won’t you join me in praying for him? If you’d like you can start the Christmas novena that starts Novemeber 30th, the feast of St. Andrew (Fr. Andrew’s name day–St. Andrew!). Thank you in advance for praying. Here is the prayer:<\/p>\n

Beginning on St. Andrew the Apostle’s feast day, November 30, the following beautiful prayer is traditionally recited fifteen times a day until Christmas. This is a very meditative prayer that helps us increase our awareness of the real focus of Christmas and helps us prepare ourselves spiritually for His coming (from the EWTN website).<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

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,\u00a0
\n[here mention your request]<\/i>
\nthrough the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is piously believed that whoever recites the St. Andrew Christmas novena prayer\u00a0FIFTEEN\u00a0times\u00a0each day from the feast of St. Andrew (November 30th) until Christmas Eve will obtain the favor requested.<\/p>\n

God bless you!<\/p>\n
