Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,  for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away  like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.  The good you do for others is good you do yourself.
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

Prayer of Saint Francis Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that 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 in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.
