A Christmas Day Prayer!

It's Christmas Eve, Jesus is almost born, I am looking forward to singing at the Christmas Eve mass, my favorite part is when Our Pastor, Father Ken places the baby Jesus in the manger in the Nativity Scene!

“He was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.” ~ St. Augustine

Christmas is the time for Family and Friends, and time to be thankful for the greatest gift in the world Jesus' birth! 


Saint Pope John XXIII said  “Mankind is a great, an immense family… This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.” 

Today is a day when everyone is a little happier, nicer to one another, walking down the street you get a smile or say Have a Merry Christmas!! I believe that the world would be a happier place if every day was treated like Christmas.

A Christmas Day Prayer

Dear God,

The day of joy returns, Father in Heaven, and crowns another 

year with peace and good will. Help us rightly to

 remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels

, the gladness of the shepherds, 

and the worship of the wise men. Close the doors of hate

 and open the doors of love all over the world… Let kindness come with

 every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil,

 by the blessing that Christ brings, and teach us to be merry 

with clean hearts. May the Christmas morning make us

 happy to be thy children, And the Christmas evening bring

 us to our bed with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake.

Amen.

 A Merry Christmas to us all, and God bless us everyone!

Ta, ta for now!
