March: Month of Incarnation
The Word was made flesh,
He lived among us
And we saw his glory….
John 1:14
Pray each day this month for a realization of the great love which brought about the Incarnation, and what it means in our lives.
My soul reflects quietly on your fullness,
for you have filled me with the knowing
that you are alive within me.
From: Miryam of Nazareth
Christ in my mind, that I may see what is true
Christ in my mouth that I may speak with power
Christ in my heart that I may learn to be touched
Christ in my hands that I may work with tenderness,
Christ in my soul that I may know my desire
Christ in my arms that I may embrace without fear
Christ in my face that I may shine with God.
Christ, whose insistent call disturbs our settled lives,
Give us discernment to hear your word,
grace to relinquish our tasks,
and courage to follow empty-handed
wherever you may lead
that the voice of your gospel
may reach to the ends of the earth. Amen.
Prayer inspired by St Patrick’s Breastplate
