Here’s a beautiful opening litany for Christmas Eve. It was written by Lisa Frenz.
In the Quiet of the Night
In the quiet of the night
A woman gives birth:
A personal act of faith;
Accepting God's charge upon her.
In the quiet of the night
A husband becomes a father:
A personal act of faith;
Accepting God's charge upon him.
In the quiet of the night
A baby breathes the air:
A personal act of sacrifice;
God steps out of the divine into the mundane
For us.
A baby breathes the air:
A personal act of sacrifice;
God steps out of the divine into the mundane
For us.
