I recently shared this Stillness entry on my facebook journal page.  I hope you enjoy the prayer:

December 17, 2012 – Today’s Stillness is the overwhelming, insistent urge to write the following prayer: 

Jesus, Child of Mary, Son of Man, Son of the Father;

Jesus, Spirit of Knowledge, Spirit of Wisdom, Spirit of Truth;

Jesus, Gift of Forgiveness, Gift of Mercy, Gift of Love;

Jesus, my Creator, my Savior, my God;

Through You, with You, and in You, I live and breathe.  Open my heart to receive You this Christmas.  Then, let my heart reflect back the Glory that is You to all the ends of the earth. 

Jesus, Child of Mary, lead me in the Way of child-like faith to greater awareness and discernment as You come into this world.  Let the child-like joy of your coming turn into the deep abiding Joy of faith and trust in Your everlasting gift of Saving Grace. 

Amen.
