Father,

I enter this new day with eager anticipation and deep longing for your Son, whose birth we are about to celebrate. As I begin this Prayer, I am aware that a merciful and holy time lies before us. Please, calm my Heart and my mind. Allow me to relinquish all my worries to You and be open to receiving the messages You wish to convey through prayer.

I entrust myself and all my loved ones to You. Bless them and envelop them in Your grace and peace, so that our celebrations may be filled with true joy.

Lord, eliminate any barriers that separate us. Grant us the grace to reconnect and deepen our love for one another. May I witness the sprouting of something new in myself and others today. 

May the tasks and preparations of this day be bestowed with Your blessings. Grant me the strength to remain focused and calm, with my gaze fixed upon You throughout the day.

Place Your divine song in my heart and let me joyfully declare the words:

“I will forever sing of the Lord’s mercies.” (Ps 89:2)

May I Prepare my heart so that the light of Your love may burn within me with a even greater and stronger flame.

Amen.
