Merry Christmas!

Posted in Holidays, Prayer at 4:19 pm by Anne

Christmas is here again… The blessings this year greater than all those before.  May God be with each of you as you celebrate the coming of the King… and may He continue to prepare you for His return.

Christmas Prayer

Moonless darkness stands between.
Past, the Past, no more be seen!
But the Bethlehem star may lead me
To the sight of Him Who freed me
From the self that I have been.
Make me pure, Lord: Thou art Holy;
Make me meek, Lord: Thou wert lowly;
Now beginning, and always,
Now begin, on Christmas day.

(By Gerard Manley Hopkins, 1844-1889.)
