O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O Saint Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, so that having experienced here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers.

A Christmas Prayer by Fr. Karl Rahner Now God says to us What He has already said to the earth as a whole Through His grace-filled birth: I am there. I am with you. I am your life. I am your time. I am the gloom of your daily routine. Why will you not hear it? I weep your tears - pour yours out to me. I am your joy. Do not be afraid to be happy; ever since I wept, joy is the standard of living That is really more suitable than the anxiety and grief of those who have no hope. I am the blind alley of all your paths, For when you no longer know how to go any farther, Then you have reached me, Though you are not aware of it. I am in your anxiety, for I have shared it. I am in the prison of your finiteness, For my love has made me your prisoner. I am in your death, For today I began to die with you, because I was born, And I have not let myself be spared any real part of this experience. I am present in your needs; I have suffered them and they are now transformed. I am there. I no longer go away from this world. Even if you do not see me now, I am there. My love is unconquerable. I am there. It is Christmas. Light the Candles! They have more right to exist then all the darkness. It is Christmas. Christmas that lasts forever. Amen.

Luke 1:46-55 “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” Thank you so much again for praying along with us and all of The Prayer Podcast listeners.

Beginning on St. Andrew the Apostle's feast day, November 30, this prayer is traditionally recited fifteen times a day until Christmas. Its purpose is to refocus us on the true reason to celebrate Christmas and to prepare our hearts and minds for the coming of our Savior. It is believed that whoever does recite this fifteen times a day from November 30 to Christmas will obtain whatever you request, within God's Will. 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 the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires,  [here mention your request] through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. Amen.
