Christmas celebrates a birth. Birth is the time of greatest pain and greatest joy. Is there anything really good that comes without pain? I'm not so sure. They seem to be interwoven.
I know a lot of people in pain this Christmas. I'm in a bit of pain myself. I don't know where I'm going and I feel a bit lost without having clear direction. I am seeing others in pain and it hurts. So now i choose - do I numb the pain or allow it to change me? That means feeling it first.
This Christmas prayer is for everyone in pain this Christmas.
You have searched me and you know me. You are in my pain, you know what it is to be wounded. Please transform my wounds into healing love. May our pain birth your love this Christmas. Give me the strength courage patience and energy to live this prayer.
Merry Christmas.
