Walking to Bethlehem
A prayer
O God, Who gladdens us by the annual expectation of our Redemption, grant that we, who now receive with joy Your only-begotten Son as our Redeemer, may behold him without fear when He comes as our judge, even the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.
A thought
Being made to wait has another benefit. It helps us figure out what we truly want and what really matters to us. . . . Remembering that some things are worth waiting for helps us decide what it is that is worth the wait, and to prize it truly when we do receive it. – M. J. Ryan in The Power of Patience
