A Prayer At Christmas
The Arrival | WGNC Hail Mary! May the greeting that was first offered to thee by the holy Gabriel, which has been recited and sung by innumerable witnesses who have trusted in thy intercession down through the ages, join my weak plea for thy help, this prayer that reaches out in love and hope toward the Lord our God. O Mary, mother of all Christians, join me in prayer to God for a pure heart, a clear mind, and a ready will, so that this disciple of Jesus the Saviour Whom thou didst bear for man's salvation, may live forever in communion with the Most Holy Trinity. HEAVENLY Father, Almighty and eternal God, hearken to me in my need, and grant an increase of grace to assist me, Thy child, to grow in likeness to Thee and Thy Son, Christ Jesus our Lord, the Redeemer Whom Thou didst send among us; Who with Thee and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, ever One God, world without end. Amen.
