Pastoral Prayers For All Seasons
We have come together, O God, to rejoice in the birth of your Son. Already we have placed candles in our windows, twinkling lights around our doors, and Madonna and Child stamps on our greeting cards.
When we were younger we entered into all the activities of this season -- hour upon hour, task upon task, celebration upon celebration -- and we didn't even grow weary. Or at least we didn't notice it. We were sustained by the excitement and expectation of those days. The gifts and cards became more treasured and the decorations became more dazzling with each passing year.
