Merry Christmas
My former high school classmate Amy Chambers Cortright who is the Vicar at Christ Church Cathedral shared this status update on Facebook which included a prayer from the Book of Common Prayer earlier today and it resonated with me. There are a lot of people who are hurting right now and life seems so uncertain and foreboding - but we need to keep the Faith, keep calm and carry on. I have faith that we’ll figure it all out. Merry Christmas to you all - wherever you are and thanks Amy for sharing.
“Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen. A holy and blessed night to all.”
