Together with our members, benefactors and entire community please join us in praying:
\”LORD Jesus Christ, when, on a winter\’s night I look up through the clear air at the stars, I can be very close to You and to Your native Bethlehem. It was at night that You first came to this earth. It was under the same stars that now gleam in this night sky that Mary first held You in her arms. It was by the faint light of these stars still shining tonight that the shepherds found their way to the stable, and discovered You, as the angels had said they would, lying in a manger (…)
O Jesus, Son of the everlasting God, You are so wonderfully made one of us at Christmas time! You are our God, but You are our Brother, too. You are our King, but You come as a helpless little baby, longing for our love.
Help us today and always to see You in all those with whom we come in contact. Let us never forget Your own instruction, that whatever we do for the least of those around us, we do for You. Help us always to serve You in the generous, selfless spirit of this season, and we shall then be real Christians – more and more like You – other Christs. Amen.\” https://secureurl.fwdcdn.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?lang=uk&hue=SmRaZFpXWVpvLS10bG9aWW1SeVhnOVZNRTJ3c0doM0laYm8wSmJ3Mk1FMD0&sat=ZG9vQU1EdFY5TEhmMGQ4YWhFVEV3NWltZ3BHaXpHblJmbFpRbHNyYkJscEh0T295
