Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 12/6

by James Christensen |
At present’s the feast of St. Nicholas:
buddy of the poor, giver of presents
– and precursor of Santa Claus!
Lord,
Whereas looking for presents for household and mates,
on the point of give them way more than they want…
Whereas rushing to spend greater than I can afford
on issues that may break and shortly be forgotten…
Whereas trimming my tree and going to events,
writing out playing cards and wrapping up presents…
Maintain me aware, O Lord, of your humble start
and the declare of the poor on the bounty that is mine…
Amen.
Bear in mind:
the one present Jesus desires for his birthday
is for us to take care of each other
– starting with the poor…
