A Christmas Prayer
May we develop and nurture absolute faith...
May our whole life and the way we live it be a prayer...
May our silent actions speak a lot louder than the words we trumpet around...
May our discreet actions reveal the extent of the love and compassion our hearts should contain...
May we learn to abandon ourselves entirely and solely to the LOVE & to the WILL of God...
May we learn from Father Abraham... How he was saved by his exemplary faith...
May we follow Father Abraham’s example...
May we learn from the Virgin Mary the absolute meaning of:
« Let it be done to me according to YOUR WILL »
May we fully conceive that Mary’s exemplary faith did not only save Mary but it saved many and can save us all...
May we then follow Mary’s example with our whole heart and soul.
May we learn from Jesus what is the awesome sacrificial commitment involved in His words to His/Our Father:
« Father into Your hands I commend my spirit... »
May we wholeheartedly follow the example of Jesus...
May we surrender our own will and willingly die to ourselves while turning over our personal will into our father’s hands...
May we follow the example of Jesus and look forward to be reborn in a humble feeding trough...
May we let Jesus feed us through and through from His humble trough with His exemplary humility...
Thus fed by Jesus, may we, in turn humbly feed and share with the world the healthy rations of humility served to us by Jesus...
Throughout His life Jesus clearly demonstrated that « humility » IS THE most important component of nutrition in a diet that is designed to sustain an invigorating spiritual life.
MAY WE, THEREFORE EAT, DRINK, AND PASS HUMILITY TO ALL AROUND OUR COMMUNITY’s TABLE OF PLENTY....
AND MAY WE THEN NEVER AGAIN WORRY -
AND MAY WE THEN BE HAPPY WITH ALL WHO SHOULD BE WELCOMED AROUND OUR EVERLASTING CHRISTMAS TABLE OF PLENTY... ALL YEAR ROUND...
THAT IS MY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR WISH FOR YOU ALL...
P.S. At least over Christmas time and hopefully ever thereafter, may we take enough appropriate time to express our love... May we avoid the button clicks on a touch screen keyboard that provide, in my opinion, a highly superficial form of: ‘Instant make ‘ME’ feel good while thoughtlessly ‘scoring points’ through the meaningless habit of loosely pretending to hastily ‘love’ ‘this or that’...
May we come to regard those easy instant messages, at the click of a button, as an absolute cheap BANALIZATION of the true deep meaning of what profound sacrificial LOVE is all about...
