Precious Lord Jesus,
Wonderful Holy Spirit,
O Precious All In All,
Wonderful, merciful Lord.
I give you praise for being born to us.
I give you praise for being a God of purity and holiness.
In the shadow of your manger scene, inspire me to strive to live a life of purity and holiness.
As I gaze into your manger scene, help me see the folly of my greed.
As I gaze into your little eyes as you rest in the hay, help me turn away forever from my selfishness.
Rather than thinking so much about the material things and material stuff of Christmas, let me think more about your purity, your innocence, and your love.
In the shadow of your manger scene, where shepherd's gathered to worship you, I give you praise for coming to me and showing me the way of giving, the way of love, and of the way of sacrifice.
In the shadow of your manger scene, help me be your humble child.
In the shadow of your manger scene, help me put all my selfish pride and ego away in favor of adorning my life with your serene humility.
In the shadow of your manger scene, help me put others before myself.
In the shadow of your manger scene, help me reject my lust for people, power, and possessions.
For what are the lusts of my flesh compared to your purity and holiness?
For what are the lusts of my being for material things compared to your innocence?
I love you, O Lord.
I adore you, Precious One.
All these things I humbly pray.
In the name of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit who lives within me and touches me, Amen.
