This is enough. Dear heart, your tears are prayer enough, and God hears every one, and He loves you.

Christmas Eve at the Grave, 1896, Johan Otto Hesselbom (1848-1913)
 

Christ was born so that we, who were dead, could be reborn in Him. Thus we have hope, even in our sharpest sorrows, for the Light has come warm into the frozen dark, and Love has kissed every wound.

See the stars. See the moon, shining like a promise upon the snow. We who mourn still keep vigil, waiting in faith until the day of Heaven– tiny Advents, counting down until we see the face of Christ, together, as His family.

Eternal rest grant unto those who we remember this Christmas, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. 🙏❤💚
