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.

Courage & Strength

“Courage isn't having the strength to go on  - it is going on when you don't have strength.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte~ “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.  If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing,  it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.  On the contrary,  if I have the belief that I can do it,  I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it  even if I may not have it at the beginning.”  ~Mahatma Gandhi~ That was exactly what I had experienced, when it comes to my study!  I had in many occasions needed to persuade, remind or even encourage myself in believing that "I can do it".  My motto was that "I have no knowledge of this subject, I am here to learn!".  After going through the ups and downs plus nearly two years off study; in September this year I finally graduated.
