The Day Before Christmas Eve: Peace, love, unity & respect for life.


 

 


    Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. 

Where there is hatred, let me bring love.

Where there is hatred, let me bring love.

Where there is offense, let me bring innocence.

Where is conflict & drama, let me bring unity.

Where there is error, let me bring truth.

    Where there is doubt & indecision, let us bring faith.

Where there us pain, let us bring healing.

Where there is darkness, let us bring light.

Where there is sadness, let us bring joy.

    O Lord, grant I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love,

for it is forgiving that one is forgiven

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned

it is in accepting Jesus, the Christ that

 one awakens to a new eternal life.

Amen.
