WISHING ALL OF YOU A

BLESSED CHRISTMAS

A Christmas Prayer

Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate your birth. . . . .may we begin to see the world in the light of the understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than

ourselves in this season of giving. Amen

May all our family members and friends who need miracles be blessed. May whoever is feeling unwell and weak be given strength.

May all of those who have heavy burdens have their load lightened. May your Christmas be

one filled with happiness and joy.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!
