O Heavenly Father, let me be eager and celebrate before its time the Nativity of Christ and Your manifestation as my Triune God. Let me lift up my mind and heart to Bethlehem and imagine the Virgin on her way to the cave to give birth to You, the Lord of All. Help me to realize that You came into Your world in order to reveal to me how to live this earthly life and have a deeper relationship with You. Help me to realize that it is only through my willingness to treat my sisters and brothers with love that I can make my relationship with You stronger and deeper. I ask your help and offer praise to You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
