As the final darkest days of the year draw around us and Advent comes to a close with Jesus’ birth, I found myself lingering over this wonderful prayer by Mary C. Earle in San Antonio, Texas from Lifting Women’s Voices:

O Come Emmanuel

O come, O come Emmanuel
Come now to us, in your many disguises
Come now to us, in every language
Come now to us, in every culture

Come now to us, in every color
Come now to us, that every moment may be pregnant with your advent
Come now to us, that we may breathe and labor and deliver you
Here, now, in our midst and in our souls
And let us say:  Amen.

May the baby Jesus live in your soul this Christmastide and for ever-more.
