It is good
to be children sometimes,
and never better than at Christmas,
when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.
Charles Dickens

Our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Word of God,
of his boundless love, became what we are
that he might make us what he himself is.
St. Irenaeus
December 31
All hail to
the days that merit more praise
Than all the rest of the year.
And welcome the nights that double delights
As well for the poor as the peer!
Good fortune attend each merry man's friend
That doth but the best that he may.
Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songs
To drive the cold winter away.
Traditional English Carol
January 1
A new year
at the hand
of the Lord--
draw close to him each day
and each day of this year
will lead us deeper
into his life.
Clasp his hand--
he is our light
and our salvation.
Edith Stein
