Precious Lord Jesus, Wonderful Holy Spirit, Awesome God, I love you.
Lord Jesus, you born in the most humble of conditions.
You were born in the stench of animals.
You suffered and died the most horrible of deaths.
All of this so you could give me the gift of power over death.
I am a little person with little power.
I cannot change the weather.
I cannot change the course of history.
I cannot stop my age from growing older.
Yet you came into the world and gave me power to defeat my own death.
You came into the world and gave me a way to find eternal life through you.
When death has closed in upon me and it seems I will be no more, I know you will reach down and save me.
You have given me the power human beings have sought for ages, the power over death.
Someday my body will be no more. However, the part of me I call "me", my personality, my thoughts, most of all, my love for you, will continue on forever.
What a gift you have given me.
My heart melts when I think about what you have done for me.
Keep my heart pure and holy as I kneel at the foot of your cross.
This Christmas season, remind me evermore how much you have given me.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can rely. Amen
