Christmas Time


Christmas and time for some secular prayers:
  • for those who desperately need sleep, rest and calm but have forgotten how to find it
  • for those terrified of financial humiliation and of losing the love and respect of those they want to protect
  • for those who adore their children but despair of coping with their demands and uncontrollable ways
  • for those desperate to make an authentic contribution to society but who agonisingly don't know how
  • for those who were badly treated and humiliated and who, despite constant effort, can't forget and recover
  • for those who started marriage with the best intentions but can't be the person they should to make it work
  • for those gripped by anxieties and phobias that have no basis in reason and yet make an ordinary life hell
  • for those unknowingly incubating the mortal diseases that will make 2013 their last
  • for those who long for a true friend, someone with whom it's possible to be totally weak - and still be loved
  • for those who need more than anything to find perspective; a look at themselves from a distant star
