Merry Christmas!


Christmas Eternal
 
 
Yonder midnight velvet pierced by gleaming white-bright star
Comes salvation, rustic stable manger, kingdom not afar
 
Softly fallen glow reflects on humble newborn baby’s face
Receive His heavenly blessing, accept our Holy Spirit’s grace
 
Little girls dream magic life where enchanted princess dance
Boy sails emerald crested Irish Sea to beckon sweet romance
 
There be I just southward of high sun at noon
Slight distant shadow westward of alabaster pale full moon
 
Could only I in small measure save one innocent loving tender child
Would I then shelter fearsome storm to proclaim dark day quite mild
 
His word! His deed1! Example guide for Christian life invited sanction
AWhat can I do? Hollow offer be, without perform thou sacred action
 
He has already loved me more than His own human life
Undeserving respite from defeated rampant savage strife
 
But rather joy as I with purpose announce exotic other
Loving family circle embrace this Infant, Father, Holy Mother
 
Pristine snow shall melt then fade, destiny fulfilled when it did start
Survive eternal truth and love through Jesus' own sweet precious heart
 
Innkeeper to rough lodging sent holy Savior he did not know
Sees you Christ as judgment waits - Is it He whom you do show?
 
AWhy can't everyday be like Christmas? Queried crooner gospel king
Oh! But it is for each who makes it so. I pray, you hear His angels sing
 
Merry Christmas!

 
Silver Crystal Palace
(a Christmas play-2010)
 
Mountains of paper and gifts galore
No room left to walk on this here floor
 
This Christmas again, one of the best
With you all here as our house guest
 
Pay attention now as our children speak
Hints to what’s coming will give you a peek
 
(Z.T.)-Bapa, I heard a real neat story
About a wonderful Magic Christmas tree
 
(L.V.)-If it’s true I have a wish to make
That everyone gets their gift to take
 
(A.E.)-Oh! I sure believe in all things good
Come miracles such that could and should
 
(A.M.)-Of course! There’s a fantasy like that
At Bapa’s and Nanny’s is where it’s at
 
(Bapa)-Now, children, let’s not get carried away
But, I believe in magic, what can I say?
 
(all)-We better check, just for some fun
It’s not over, we’ve hardly begun
 
Today there is magic to be found
One more gift must be around
 
Then, they all search the magical Christmas tree
(all)-Look! Now what could this here be?
 
(all)-Santa might give her a silver crystal palace
(Pause)-Or better yet, a golden Christian chalice
 
Merry Christmas!
 
Hail! Mary!
 
 
Hail! Mary! Full of grace, the Lord is with thee
 
Heaven angel to virgin maiden spoke enigma word quite bold
Celestial Son’s birth for sinful man’s redemption, he foretold
 
Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
 
Announcement caused His cousin John in the womb to leap
Un-truth purveyors shall forever the evil whirlwind reap
 
Holy Mary! Dear mother of God, please pray for us sinners
 
Add not nor deny My Truth, I am the Light
Holy Word, My Way to salvation in clear sight
 
Now and at the hour of our death
 
Communion saints with heavenly angels pray
Revere innocents’ life, reflect on Christmas Day
 
And, thanks for His miracle of the rosary
 
Three in One, a dozen true disciple men
Love each other, your brother also is My kin
 
For He so loved the world He sent His only Son
Offer heartfelt humble prayer, His holy day be won
 
Amen!
 
Merry Christmas!
 
Pray the rosary! Amen!
