Poem December 19, 1988 Issue

I pray

Marjorie Macartney

that my thought may a manger be,
like the manger of our Lord,
welcoming the eternal Christ
ever newly born.

I pray
that my thought may a manger be,
humble enough to receive
the blessing of each angel sent
by Love to teach and heal;

soft enough to cradle
the Advent—infant bud,
ascending fruit of Love;

strong enough to embrace
the dispensation of His grace.

Marjorie Macartney
