7. In grief and temptation,
In joy, or in pain,
We'll seek thee, our Mother,
Nor seek thee in vain.

With blessings from heaven,
And to our petitions
Let answer be given.
9. In death's solemn moment,
Our Mother, be nigh;
As children of Mary
O teach us to die!
10. And crown thy sweet mercy
With this special grace,
To behold soon in heaven
God's ravishing Face.
11. Now to God be all glory
And worship for aye,
And to Gods Virgin Mother,
An endless Ave.

PRAYER to SAINT PHILOMENA
ST. PHILOMENA, behold me before the bright throne whereon the august Trinity hath set thee wearing thy double crown of virginity and martyrdom; behold, I lift suppliant hands to thee. Even the most cruel sufferings could not diminish the devotion of thy generous heart to the Celestial Lover Who was thy joy. And now thy Lord, to recompense these sufferings, wills to glorify thee by the mightiness of thy intercessions. Therefore it is to thee that I lift my suppliant hands. Ah! from the heights of the heavenly country, deign to cast a glance on me, thy humble client. O pure Virgin, O holy martyr, solace me in suffering and temptation, sustain me in trial and persecution, and assist me in danger, above all at the awful hour of death, when I shall have to combat all the powers of hell; pray for me in that final moment upon which my eternity hangs.

PRAYER to OUR LADY of GUADALUPE
O Holy Mary, Virgin Mother of God, who as Our Lady of Guadalupe didst aid in the conversion of Mexico from paganism in a most miraculous way, we now beseech thee to bring about in these our times the early conversion of our modern world from its present new-paganism to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of thy divine Son,Jesus Christ, starting in the Americas and extending throughout the entire world, so that soon there may be truly “one fold and one shepherd,” with all governments recognizing the reign of thy Son, Jesus Christ the King. This we ask of the Eternal Father, through Jesus Christ His Son Our Lord and by thy powerful intercession—all for the salvation of souls, the triumph of the Church and peace in the world. Amen.
With Ecclesiastical Approval.

HYMN - O Come, Divine Messiah
1. O come, Divine Messiah,
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph
And sadness flee away.
Refrain:
Sweet Savior, haste! Come, come to earth.
Dispel the night and show Thy face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace;
O come, Divine Messiah,
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing of triumph
And sadness flee away.
2. Thou’lt come in peace and meekness
And lowly will Thy cradle be;
All veiled in human weakness,
Thy majesty we’ll see. [Refrain]
3. O Thou whom nations sighed for,
Whom seer and prophet long foretold,
Wilt break the captive's fetters,
Redeem the long-lost fold. [Refrain]

Christmas Novena ~ December 16th to December 24th
In the final days before Christmas, there are many beautiful ways that we can continue to prepare our hearts as a worthy manger for Our Saviour.
The following Novena has its basis in the “O Antiphons”, taken from the Book of Isaiah, and sung by the Roman Church since at least the 8th century. These are the Antiphons that are said before the Magnificat for Vespers (one of the canonical hours of the Divine Office, traditionally prayed at sunset) from December 17th until December 23rd, and are beautiful titles for the Divine Redeemer.
The supplication veni (come) echoes in each Antiphon our longing for Our Divine Messiah.
The prayers of Day 1 and Day 9 are not themselves “O Antiphons”. The final prayer each day is the St. Andrew’s Novena for Christmas.

HYMN - Rorate cǽli desuper
Roráte caéli désuper, et núbes plúant jústum. Repeat: Roráte.
Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down the Just One.
1 Ne irascáris Dómine, ne ultra memíneris iniquitátis: ecce cívitas Sancti facta est desérta: Sion desérta facta est: Jerúsalem desoláta est: domus sanctificatiónis tuæ et glóriæ tuæ, ubi laudavérunt te patres nostri. ℟. Roráte.
Be not angry, O Lord, and remember no longer our iniquity: behold the city of the Holy One is become a desert: Sion is become a desert: Jerusalem is desolate: the house of thy sanctification and of thy glory, where our fathers praised thee.
2 Peccávimus, et facti sumus tamquam immúndus nos, et cecídimus quasi fólium univérsi: et iniquitátes nostræ quasi ventus abstulérunt nos: abscondísti fáciem tuam a nobis, et allisisti nos in manu iniquitátis nostræ. ℟. Roráte.
We have sinned and are become as one that is unclean: and we have all fallen as a leaf, and our iniquities like the wind have carried us away: thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast crushed us in the hold of our iniquity.
3 Vide Domine afflictiónem pópuli tui, et mitte quem missúrus es: emítte Agnum dominatórem terræ, de Petra desérti ad montem fíliæ Sion: ut áuferat ipse jugum captivitátis nostræ. ℟. Roráte.
Behold, O Lord, the affliction of thy people, and send forth Him who is to come: send forth the Lamb, the ruler of the earth, from the Rock of the desert to the mount of daughter Sion: that He may take away the yoke of our captivity.
4 Consolámini, consolámini, pópule meus: cito véniet salus tua: quare mæróre consúmeris, quia innovávit te dolor? Salvábo te, noli timére, ego enim sum Dóminus Deus tuus, Sanctus Israel, Redémptor tuus. ℟. Roráte.
Be comforted, be comforted, my people: thy salvation cometh quickly: why art thou consumed with grief: for sorrow hath estranged thee: I will save thee: fear not, for I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Redeemer.
