Christmas Prayer

Oh sweet, Jesus, Fill our heart with your love So as to care more for: The sick The needy The homeless The hungry The desperate The lonely And Less for: Our vacations Our parties Our dressing Our dancing Our drinking Us having fun! Help us, holy infant, Ourselves to be reborn into your Divine pond of compassion So We, worthy servants, Of Your glorious mission, forever To be! © Demetrios Trifiatis 18 December 2015

Amen! As I can read it I realize how far from the Kingdom I am prone to travel.

Travelling is beautiful and I do not think the Good Lord objects it, for anywhere we are, we still can do His work! The message of the prayer is read in many ways. For me, especially these days, we ought to think of others as well apart of thinking of ourselves. One doesn't exclude the other. It is up to us to do what we wish to do. There is not Should here but ought to, dearest Richard. Merry Christmas and happy traveling my friend! Thank you!
