Inspired by lyrics by Peter Mayer:
\\n
\\xa0
\\n
Make of my heart a manger, Lord, to receive the newborn Christ Child.
\\n
\\xa0
\\n
Calm my fears, and give me peace, Lord, and steadfast, stable faith, that I may witness the birth of the Christ Child in everyday experience.
\\n
\\xa0
\\n
Give me a sign, Lord, as I keep the night watch, that the Christ Child is born in the midst of the simple life of prayer.
\\n
\\xa0
\\n
\\u201cIn Bethlehem a manger waits, long ago and so today,\\u201d we pray that \\u201cLove will come and lay there.\\u201d
\\n
\\xa0
\\n
\\u201cSo may the lamps of stables glow, brightly that their light may go, for miles in the darkness, so, Love will find its way there,\\u201d to be cradled in the human heart.
