The Sloganeer

Dear God, we sing again this Christmas “Silent Night, Holy Night.” But at the same time our song is also a cry for help because our World is not yet silent. Too often the silence of our World is shattered by the cries of the poor hurting from lack of food, shelter and clothing; the cries of the lonely and forgotten in need of friendly care; the cries of people disturbed in mind or body yearning for a healing touch; the cries of little children needing loving arms to care for them, as did Mary, in her embrace of her infant Son.

Help us dear God, as we celebrate once again, the birth of your Son Jesus, to bring silence to your People. Especially bless this Christmas  all those who support your effort to silence your World. “Silent Night, Holy Night”…we indeed pray.
