Prayer to Obtain Favors

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, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother.

Amen

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