Christmas is a nostalgic time<\/a> for many. We remember childhood celebrations. Family gatherings. Memorable gifts.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s fitting at Christmas to pray nostalgically, too, in a manner of speaking. The following Christmas prayers are part of the collective memory of the church through the ages. So why not make one\u2014or all\u2014your prayer this Christmas<\/a>?<\/p>\n

1) Saint Ephraim the Syrian<\/strong>
\nThe feast day of Your birth resembles You, Lord, because it brings joy to all humanity.
\nOld people and infants alike enjoy Your day.
\nYour day is celebrated from generation to generation.
\nKings and emperors may pass away, and the festivals to commemorate them soon lapse, but Your festival will be remembered until the end of time.
\nYour day is a means and a pledge of peace.
\nAt Your birth<\/a> heaven and earth were reconciled, since You came from heaven to earth on that day.
\nYou forgave our sins and wiped away our guilt.
\nYou gave us so many gifts on the day of your birth:
\nA treasure chest of spiritual medicines for the sick;
\nSpiritual light for the blind;
\nThe cup of salvation for the thirsty;
\nThe bread of life for the hungry.
\nIn the winter when trees are bare,
\nYou give us the most succulent spiritual fruit.
\nIn the frost when the earth is barren,
\nYou bring new hope to our souls.
\nIn December when seeds are hidden in the soil,
\nThe staff of life springs forth from the virgin womb.<\/p>\n

2) Saint Augustine of Hippo<\/strong>
\nLet the just rejoice, for their Justifier is born.
\nLet the sick and infirm rejoice, for their Savior is born.
\nLet the captives rejoice, for their Redeemer is born.
\nLet slaves rejoice, for their Master is born.
\nLet free men rejoice, for their Liberator is born.
\nLet All Christians rejoice<\/a>, for Jesus Christ is born.<\/p>\n

3) Saint Bernard of Clairvaux<\/strong>
\nLet Your goodness, Lord, appear to us, that we, made in Your image, conform ourselves to it. In our own strength we cannot imitate Your majesty, power and wonder, nor is it fitting for us to try. But Your mercy reaches from the heavens through the clouds to the earth below. You have come to us as a small child, but You have brought us the greatest of all gifts, the gift of eternal love. Caress us with Your tiny hands, embrace us with Your tiny arms, and pierce our hearts with Your soft, sweet cries.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
