A Christmas Prayer

Every year as the Christmas season comes around, we make a few changes to our Chapel time. We sing through various carols, which our students always enjoy. Later this month, several of our more musically-inclined parents will perform a brief concert during our time together in the morning. And instead of our normal closing doxology, we say a Christmas prayer. What a wonderful way to start the day!

May we be filled with the wonder of Mary,
the obedience of Joseph,
the joy of the angels,
the eagerness of the shepherds,
the determination of the magi,
and the peace of the Christ child.
May the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit bless us now and forever.
Amen.
