God abides in men. Some men are not simple, they live in cities among the teeming buildings, wrestling with [...]

You can always tell when there’s been a wedding. At my parish, that’s when we get to look at pretty flowers. Because, at a university parish, we don’t spend the big bucks on flowers. We’re frugal, yo. So, we love it when wedding season comes around. There’s fragrant proof of white gowns, flower girls and [...]

St. Andrew Christmas Novena Printable

30 Nov By Lauren 2 Comments

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe so you never miss a post. Thanks :)

I’ve just discovered this beautiful devotion – the St. Andrew Christmas Novena! (I love how the Church is so huge and vast and complex that someone can be Catholic for almost 20 years and STILL find new, beautiful things!)

Today is the Feast of Saint Andrew, and you may pray this beautiful, simple prayer each day until Christmas! Learn more about the devotion over at The Practicing Catholic, and read this beautiful testimony over at Amongst Lovely Things.

I made this prayer card for my family and thought you might like to use it, too! I also have a .pdf here with 4 per page, for nice, easy printing!

(right click, to open up the larger version)

enjoy!

Hello Lauren,

What a beautiful site! I found you after Googling Caryll Houselander. I’m giving a presentation on Reed of God next month and would love to give holy cards/bookmarks with a CH quote–any suggestions of where I might find such? The “loveliest hour” quote is one that stopped me cold on my first reading. Can’t wait to read more of your posts–thank you!

Elizabeth
