We are thrilled to share the new Behold audio and video series from Sr. Miriam James Heidland on healing with the Holy Family! As a companion to her new Behold guided-meditation journal, these video/audio episodes focus on a different weekly theme and will be available on the app each Sunday during Advent.
Hear Sr. Miriam’s Morning Blend interview on the series, and see artwork from the series’ Portland-based illustrator, Josiah Henley.
Special thanks to Ave Maria Press for making this available to our listeners!
Feasts of Our Lady Calendar
We recently sent our listeners an Advent / Christmas greeting, along with a calendar of Marian feast days for 2023. If you didn’t receive this gift in the mail, you can download it here or email your name and address to us at info@Materdeiradio.com, and we will send you a hard copy of our inspiring 2023 Marian calendar.
Saint Andrew Novena
The short Saint Andrew Christmas novena prayer is said fifteen times each day from the feast of Saint Andrew (November 30) until Christmas Eve, and can be said for a specific intention. Use the Hail Mary Media App to find multiple recorded versions of this prayer or to sign up for a daily reminder. We also invite you pray this with us on the air!
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 through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. Amen.
