Father Roman: Greeting for Christmas

Please Father, we ask, that when we stand alongside the manger, the song of the angels will echo in our soul, for then your son will live within us.

Please Father, we ask, that when we sit around the table, all dissent will pass away and the spirit of reconciliation will transform hearts, then your son will live within us.

Please Father, we ask, that when we are lonely and far away, the memory of our dear ones will calm the longing, for then your son will live within us.

Please Father, we ask, that when we sing the Christmas songs, joy and happiness will fill the streets, the homes and the churches, for then your son will live within us.

Please Father, we ask, that when we are sick and hurting, the innocent smile of the infant will renew our strength, for then your son will live within us.

Please Father, we ask, that when we feel old and handicapped, the quite whimper will fill us with hope, for then your son will live within us.

Please Father, we ask, that when we smile, our joy will brighten the skies, for then your son will live within us.

Please Father, we ask, that when we feel alone and abandoned, the grace of the silent night will envelop our souls, for then your son will live within us.

Merry Christmas
