An Advent Prayer and Christmas Blessing
by Fr. Leo Patalinghug, 2011
The Lord’s coming among us
Increases joy in the hearts of God’s family.
A chance to increase our trust –
An opportunity to share the life of the Trinity.
The Birth of this Holy Child
A gift beyond all telling –
In a stable, He lays meek and mild,
In our hearts, He seeks love and indwelling.
The songs of the angels sing,
“Hosanna and Gloria in the darkest of nights!â€
For the light of God this Child shall bring,
Comfort, strength and divine insight.
He shall show the ways of God,
With loving encouragement along the way –
In faith and hope we step towards love
And seek the glory of endless days.
May hearts burn for love of Him,
As we celebrate this season of giving.
May His peace, your soul shall sense within,
Be the grace that fills your days with blessed and joyful living.
