Meet Him in the Manger | A Christmas Greeting and Prayer from Spoken Bride

On this sacred night, Love became incarnate. And even in His infancy, Christ gave us the model of virtue, humility, and sacrifice to follow in our vocations.

Whether your Advent season was as peaceful or fruitful as you hoped it would be, don’t be afraid to meet Jesus in manger and invite Him to make His home in your heart and marriage.

Let Your goodness, Lord, appear to us, that we, made in your image, conform ourselves to it. In our own strength we cannot imitate Your majesty, power, and wonder, nor is it fitting for us to try. But Your mercy reaches from the heavens through the clouds to the earth below. You have come to us as a small child, but you have brought us the greatest of all gifts, the gift of eternal love. Caress us with Your tiny hands, embrace us with Your tiny arms and pierce our hearts with Your soft, sweet cries. —Prayer by St. Bernard of Clairvaux

From all of us at Spoken Bride, Merry Christmas! Thank you for your trust, support and participation in our mission, especially in this crazy year—we are full of gratitude for every one of our brides, vendors, and readers. 

We hope you and your family have a joyous and blessed day and that the peace of Christ will reign forever in your hearts and homes.
