This is a Christmas prayer I came across on a card with a Nativity scene. There is no attribution. However, It touches on some of the elements of the previous post. Remember, the Christmas season in the Church is more than just a few days in December, nor a week that stretches into the New Year, and certainly not a shopping season that starts in November. It is a holy time of year that remains with us for a few weeks still. Let the glow continue. Pray on!
Holy Infant Christ, born 2,000 years ago into a cold and hostile world and deprived of all simple human comforts, help us to replicate the example of Bethlehem and Nazareth in our daily lives.
If there is no room at the inn of men’s hearts for you today we shall make room in our own. Whether our stations in life are simple and impoverished as the Shepherds, or resplendent as the Wise Men of Old, we will bow in adoration before your majesty. Like the Star of Bethlehem and the Heavenly Choir of Angels we will lead men to sing your praises.
From you who deigned to lower yourself to partake of our humanity and its miseries, enable us to partake of your Divinity that we may experience a truly spiritual incarnation this Christmas-tide.
