“Jesus took His Flesh from the flesh of Mary.”
“Man’s maker was made man that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother’s breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that Truth might be accused of false witnesses, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the Foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die.”
Prayer:
Dear Lord, Oh, how you must love me. So loved me that you came in the form of a babe. You, the creator of the countless stars, grains of sand, the whole universe and gave it all up to live here on Earth. Oh, how you must love me. Even if I would the only living being here on Earth you would have still come just for me. Lord, Beloved Christmas Miracle, save me, I wait and long for your coming.
Music:
Creator of the Stars of Night
Creator of the starry night,
thy people’s everlasting light,
Jesu, Redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.
