Sample Text|:

Christmas Novena: "Hail, and blessed be the hour and moment at which the Son of God was born of a most pure Virgin at a stable at midnight in Bethlehem. In the piercing cold at that hour vouchsafe, I ask you, to hear my prayers and grant my desires (mention your request here). Amen."

A personal message from the editor, Marie Noel:

"I'm an ordinary person living an ordinary life. My love of Catholicism, interests in history, and quest to deepen my faith led me to create and share various collections of prayers.

My purpose in creating these Catholic prayer books has been to discover other kinds of prayers rather than the typical ones found today. My interest in history and research are evident in my prayer collections as the prayers are from approved sources and some date back as early as Medieval times. I'm creating prayer books that I want to use -- with rich visuals from today and yesterday.

I hope that these prayer collections enhance your journey in faith."
