"
Loving Father, help us 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 door of hate and open
the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every
gift & good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from
evil by the blessing which Christ brings, & teach us to be
merry with clear hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy
to be Thy children, & the Christmas evening bring us to our
beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus'
sake." |
