Krippe Anbetungskirche Berg Schönstatt

Lady of the Holy Night,

 

Lady of Silence and of Waiting:
You will again give us the Child.
We will remain in vigil with you until He is born:
in utter poverty, in profound prayer, in ardent desire.
When the angels sing:
"Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace among men of good will."

 

a new light will be inflamed in our souls,
an immutable peace will take root in our hearts,
and a contagious Joy will be painted on our faces.
And we will return home in silence:
illuminating the shadows of the night,
calming the nervousness of men,
and giving joy to their sadness.

Afterwards, at home, we will celebrate the Family Feast.
Around the table, simple and cordial, children and adults will sit:
We will pray in thanksgiving,
we will converse to remember,
we will sing to communicate.
We will eat the bread and almonds that unite us.

Outside, perhaps the world will remain the same.
In some town there will be no Christmas Eve because they are at war.
In some home there will be no Christmas Eve because they are separated.
In some heart there will be no Christmas Eve because they are in sin.

Lady of Christmas Eve,
Mother of Light, Queen of Peace.
Cause of our joy:
May Jesus be born again in my heart.
But for everyone: for my home, for my town, for my country, for the whole world.

And above all, fundamentally, May Jesus be born again for the Glory of the Father.

Cardinal Eduardo Pironio, Argentina
