To Continue the Christmas Celebration
Holy Father,
Sundays are sacred. On this particular Sunday, between Christmas and New Year, I carry on the joyful celebration of Jesus’ birth to close out one year and to begin another. Grant me moments of peaceful reflection on Christmas through the hymn texts and Scriptures today during worship. While the world has already moved on from Christmas, allow it to linger a little longer on my mind and in my heart. Reveal to me Christmas truths that are both new and familiar through worship, lighting up my spirit and stirring my soul. May my pondering of your Best Gift to me spur on my best gifts for you in the year ahead.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
