A Christmas Eve Prayer
This is the most special night  of the year, the night of our Savior's birth.  Advent has come to an end and now it is time to celebrate the great and wonderful season of Christmas!
​
Let up pray together:
Dear God, thank you for bringing us through the Advent season to this holy night.   May our hearts be ever open to receive  You and to receive others in Your name.   Help us celebrate with great joy the birth of your son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Help us to bring Christmas joy, love and peace to all people.  Help us to be more kind to one another, more patient, more forgiving.   Please bless Your world with peace,  and fill us with Your Spirit this blessed night.   Amen. 

Behold what God has done for us.  Through Mary's "yes" we have been given the gift of God's Love.    Did you ever wonder if Mary knew the joys and suffering that awaited her?   Listen to the beautiful song below from the CMA Country Christmas show.


A Christmas Blessing attributed to Robert Louis Stevenson

Loving God, Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and the worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clean hearts.

​May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring  us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven for Jesus' sake. 
Amen.
The two prayers above  are taken from  the book,   God's Gift of Love - A Christmas Story  written by Solveig Muus and beautifully illustrated by Michael Adams.   The book is available from Three Golden Notes Religious Store at St. Cecilia's Parish in Solvay, New York 
One of  the favorite Christmas stories, let  The Little Drummer Boy help you reflect on your gift(s) for Jesus this Christmas.

See a rose.   Pray a Rosary.

This saying was coined by Rosary Maker, Nelson Kirkpatrick.   Nelson and wife, Alice started rosary making at the Marian Center about five years ago.   They have taught many people this sacred craft.   Much love and prayers go into the rosaries.   The initial group has grown and now meets at the Franciscan Villa on Buckley Road.  Learn how to make rosaries.  The group is currently making rosaries individually at their homes but watch for info on our getting together again.
