Christmas Prayer
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 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 Christmas evening bring us to our beds with
grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
Beloved in Christ,
Christmas is the time to remember
that God gave the greatest gift He had
to the world - His Son Jesus. The
Christ Child entered into this world
to change the world for the better, to
change the lives of us all. God became
a human being in Jesus; He became
like us, but His goal is to make us
like His Son. May this goal become
our; may the world be change for the
better by changes in us.
May you have a
very merry and
holy Christmas and
a Happy New Year
filled with the
blessings of
God!
With prayers
- Fr. Adam and
Danuta

Umiłowani w Chrystusie,
Boże Narodzenie jest czasem, w
którym pamiętamy, że Bóg dał światu
największy dar jaki posiadał - Swego
Syna Chrystusa. Dzieciątko Jezus
przyszło na ten świat, aby zmienić
świat na lepsze, aby zmienić życie nas
wszystkich. Bóg stał się człowiekiem
w Jezusie; Bóg stał się takim jak my
w celu uczynienia nas takimi jak Jego
Syn. Niech ten cel stanie się naszym
celem; niech świat zmieni się na lepsze
poprzez zmiany w nas samych.
Życzymy wam wesołego i świętego
czasu Bożego Narodzenia oraz
Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku
wypełnionego Bożym
błogosławieństwem.
Z pamięcią
modlitewną
- ks. Adam i
Danuta
