    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    A Christmas Prayer

     

    Loving Father, help us to 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 clear hearts.

    May the Christmas morning make us happy
    to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening
    bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
    forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake.

    Amen!
