Today, Lord, we pray
for people facing the prospect of spending Christmas in the hospital. We pray
for parents watching their children slowly slip away (and vice versa), despite
Christmas pictures taped to the wall and carols playing in the background. We pray
for friends and strangers alike to remember the single people and families confined to hospital beds and facing hospital menus instead of family feasts. Send angels
to administer comfort. Send disciples clothed in hospital garb to share words
of peace. Fill these patients and their loved ones with the HOPE found in the
Christ child. In Jesus' name, Amen.
