Christmas Vigil Prayer
God of endless ages, Father of all goodness, 
we keep vigil for the dawn of salvation
 and the birth of your Son. 
With gratitude we recall his humanity, 
the life he shared with the sons of men.
 May the power of his divinity
 help us answer his call to forgiveness and life? 
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer After Breakfast During Christmas
Glory to God in the highest, 
and on earth peace to men of will, alleluia! 
The Lord has reigned, 
and He is clothed with beauty.
 Almighty God, the Savior of the world, 
who hast nourished us with heavenly food, 
we give Thee thanks
 for the gift of this bodily refreshment 
which we have received from Thy bountiful mercy. 
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer For Christmas Dawn
Almighty God and Father of light,
 a child is born for us and a son is given to us.
 Your eternal Word 
leaped down from heaven
 in the silent watches of the night,
 and now your Church
 is filled with wonder at the nearness of her God. 
Open our hearts to receive his life 
and increase our vision with the rising of dawn, 
that our lives 
may be filled with his glory and his peace, 
who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen

Prayer For Midnight Mass
Father, 
you make this holy night radiant
 with the splendor of Jesus Christ our light. 
We welcome him as Lord,
 the true light of the world.
 Bring us to eternal joy 
in the kingdom of heaven, 
where he lives and reigns 
with you and the Holy Spirit, 
one God, forever and ever. Amen.

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website

Recognize The Possibilities

“Only if you’ve been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”  Richard Nixon “You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”   Thomas Merton Explore This Website

The Gift of Miracles

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.  Anne Lamott Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles. Samuel Smiles  Explore This Website
