December 23: Album and prayer

One of the best stories, funny and silly and tearful.  We listen to it every year.

Prayer:
Oh, Emmanuel, 
"God-with-Us," 
You have touched me; 
you are God-with-Me.

Thank you for these weeks of prayer. 
In the spirit of the season 
my waiting, my patience, 
feels sacred.

Refine and purify my heart 
with the hottest flame of your love. 
Give me the courage of your prophets 
and let me do what is right 
even when others don't understand.

Bless my heart with generosity 
and make me ready to receive you.

Come, Lord Jesus!  Come!

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel 
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
