The Happiness of Others

Giving God, support all those at this season who think and plan to give happiness to others, and give them the deepest joy in their tasks.  Sustain all those who must bear added burdens to provide cheer for others.  Help us all to be mindful and considerate of them.  Abundantly bless those in whose hearts there is little room for joy because sorrow has come to them.  Grant that in the knowledge of Christ's comfort they may find peace in their hearts through help they receive from you through concerned followers of your way.  In the name of the Christ Child, we do pray.  Amen.
