Veni, Veni

Veni, veni Emmanuel;
Captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.

Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te, Israel!

May you notice people around you

May you notice people around you who are hurting –
those who cannot help themselves.

May you take time to serve others in their need
without seeking anything in return.

And may you act with mercy and generosity
toward those who are lowly and powerless,
serving Christ as you serve your fellow man.
