Pause for Prayer
Make a cradle.
Wrap a gift.
Wonder at what is nestled in straw.
Close your eyes.
Dream a dream
of a child born to end the nightmare of poverty.
of a child born to end the nightmare of oppression.
of a child born to end the nightmare of violence.
Dream a dream of a holy night
of a child who is the light of the world.
of a child who scatters darkness with truth.
of a child announced by a star who is the morning star.
Welcome the child who moved
from the cradle to the cross
from the cross to the crypt
from the crypt to crowned King.
"For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
authority rests upon his shoulders;
and he is named
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6).
