WHAT WE WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

“What do you want for Christmas?” We ask each other this often before the holidays. Yet how many of us actually take a few minutes to kneel before the infant Jesus and ask Him what He wants? When we kneel before the manager, it is very possible that we will hear Him whisper that He wants us to share a little more of our time with Him. Maybe each of us could make a New Year’s resolution to spend more time with God.  
+ Go to Mass more frequently. 
+ Find some time for prayer in the morning. 
+ End our day with spiritual reading. 
+ Say the rosary while we drive to work. 
+ Stop into church occasionally for a quiet visit. 
The gift of time with God could be the very best gift we could give this year, not only to Jesus but also to ourselves. It might be just what our own hearts are truly longing for.
