Hail and Blessed be the Hour and
the 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 prayers and grant my petitions
through the merits of
Our Savior, Jesus Christ,
and of His Most Holy Mother. Amen.
(This prayer is to be offered 15 times daily from November 30 until Christmas Day.)
Imprimatur: Michael Augustine, Archbishop of New York, February 6, 1897
