Christmas Prayer   

 Dear Infant Jesus     
In a short time     
You will come   
To visit us   
And your holy, divine coming   
Is full of Peace, Joy and Love.

Candles and Christmas lights represent Christ, the Light of the World.   
Candles and Christmas lights also remind people that they are to be light to others,   
to show them the way to Christ.

Christmas is a contraction of "Christ's Mass", which is derived from the Old English Cristes maesse.

The Gospel passages proclaimed at the Vigil and the Midnight Mass of Christmas root the Nativity   
of the Lord in the family history and lineage of David as they tell the story of the Birth of the Savior.

How wonderful that God chose the shepherds to see the important birth of the Infant Jesus!   
Because of their humble origins, the shepherds could not help but rejoice and tell everyone that they had seen the Messiah.

The Christmas tree is an evergreen tree to remind people of God's everlasting love.   
The star which is traditionally placed on top of the tree symbolizes the star of Bethlehem.

The angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds and told them the good tidings of the Messiah.   
As for the angel, the Bible does not name him.   
Might the angel have been Gabriel?

Christmas Time runs from First Vespers (Evening Prayer I) of the Nativity of the Lord   
up to and including the Sunday after Epiphany or after January 6.
