Life in a Nutshell
Happy Feast Day to my DH! There's a novena that starts today and ends Christmas Day. My friend Holly reminded me of this today (like she does every year....without fail!) Thanks Holly!
Christmas Novena
To be said 15 times daily from the feast of St Andrew (Nov. 30) until Christmas Day (Dec. 25)
"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 piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, oh my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires through the merits of our Saviour Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother."
I know it seems a lot, to say it 15 times a day...but once you have it memorized, it's easy. I think it's a beautiful prayer, captures the imagination of how it must have been that night. Incredible.

Happy Feast day! We love St. Andrew here too! :-)
St. Andrew, please pray for us!
God bless,

I've heard that somewhere before...
It perfectly captures the vulnerability of motherhood, the sacrifice, and the worry, the joys and pains....
Thanks, Mom!
