Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Dear Jesus, may the light of your love always shine in our hearts. As Christmas draws closer, we marvel at your great love for us. Let your love transform every aspect of our lives and touch everyone we encounter. Our hearts are open to you, Jesus. Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
