Advent Prayer
- Like foolish folk of old I would not be,
- Who had no room that night for Him and thee.
- See, Mother Mary, here within my heart
- I've made a little shrine for Him apart;
- Swept it of sin, and cleansed it with all care;
- Warmed it with love and scented it with prayer.
- So, Mother, when the Christmas anthems start,
- Please let me hold your baby--in my heart.—Sr. Maryanna, O.P.University of Dayton: Advent Prayer
