Make of my heart a manger, Lord, to receive the newborn Christ Child.
Calm my fears, and give me peace, Lord, that I witness the birth of the Christ Child in everyday experience.
Give me a sign, Lord, that the Christ Child is born in the midst of the simple life.
In steadfast, stable faith, Lord, I behold the newborn Christ Child in the manger of my heart.
