Hail and blessed be the hour and moment when the Son of God was born, of most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. So starts the well known St. Andrew Christmas novena. This Christmas let us meditate on this joyous event: With the wonder and quiet love of Mary & Joseph, With the joy of the angels, With the humility of the shepherds, With the adoration of the Magi, the first to seek our newborn King. As the world rushes about, parties & indulges let us quietly thank God for the great gift of our beloved Saviour.
