A Child's Prayer for Christmas: "Happy Birthday Jesus"
Happy Birthday, Jesus!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Happy Birthday, Jesus! We are happy because today we celebrate your birth in Bethlehem many years ago. You have a birthday today, just like we each have our own birthdays.
We thank you that you came from heaven to earth to be born just for us. Thank you for all you did for us when you were here with us. You taught us how to love God our Father in heaven and to obey His will. You taught us to love each other: help us to remember to be more loving. You taught us how to do the right thing: remind us that you are with us, even when we think no one is looking.
We thank you for growing up to be our Savior and dying on the Cross for our sins. We thank you that you rose again and went to heaven, opening a way so we can go there too, someday.
Thank you for the gift of the Church and for your Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist.
Thank you for our parents who love us so much and for all our family and friends.
Amen.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
