For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
A CHRISTMAS PRAYER FOR LONELY FOLKS
Lord God of the solitary,
Look upon me in my loneliness.
Since I may not keep this Christmas in the home,
Send it into my heart.
Let not my sins cloud me in,
But shine through them with forgiveness in the face of the child Jesus.
Put me in loving remembrance of the lowly lodging in the stable of Bethlehem,
