A Christmas Prayer About Holding The Baby Jesus In Your Loneliness

Most Precious Lord Jesus, Gentle And Wonderful God, Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit,
Precious Jesus, I love you.
Christmas is a very lonely time for me.
Things have changed so much from years ago.
All the people who were part of my Christmas from days in the past are gone now.
Now, there is only me.
During this lonely time for me, I want to hold you as a baby.
I want to rock you to sleep.
I want to see your peace and feel the softness of your little hands�the hands that would someday be nailed to the cross.
I want to give to you in so many ways.
If you would grant me this request, may I always be able to show others how much you love them and how you can take away their lonely times like you take away my lonely times.
In all these things I give my humble thanks and praise to you for being born for me, a lowly sinner.
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
