Meditation before the Manger (iii)

The Dragon

Suggested Reading: I Peter 4:1-11

Suggested Carol: Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

O Holy Spirit,

who in all ages has comforted and strengthened martyrs and confessors;

who has ever been the sustaining comfort and sweet refreshment of the sorrowful and suffering

who sheds abroad love, joy and peace in the hearts of the faithful and obedient followers of Christ;

grant that we may be filled with all the fullness of your gifts of grace;

so that, by your holy inspiration, we may perceive that which is holy and true,

and by your merciful guiding, perform the same,

Amen.
