ADVENT PRAYER

ADVENT PRAYER

Like foolish folk of old I would not be,

who had no room that night for Him and thee.

See, Mother Mary, here within my heart

I’ve made a little shrine for Him apart;

swept it of sin, and cleansed it with all care;

warmed it with love and scented it with prayer.

So, Mother, when the Christmas anthems start,

please let me hold your Baby – in my heart.

Sister Maryanna, OP
