Spirit of Christmas 

Spirit of Christmas, Magnificent One!

Born with the coming of Heaven's dear Son;

Named for our Mary, God-Mother of men,

Welcome! O welcome to Earth once again! 

Spirit of Christmas, from Raphael's heart,

By consecration, make all a part

Of your great service, melting away

Shadows of discord by Love's Pink Ray. 

Spirit of Christmas, charge through the throngs

Of men at Christmas, Charity's songs

Songs of forgiveness, thanksgiving and cheer;

For our dear Earth hold your peace all the year. 

Spirit of Christmas, upon you we call

Gratitude's blessing from the God-self in all;

Make Earth the fullness of all that you are

Hasten the Victory of dear Freedom's Star. 

Spirit of Christmas, with love aglow

Spirit of Christmas, we love you so!

Seal now our Planet in your Christ-Flame,

Stay with us always, in Jesus' dear name. 

"The Spirit of Christmas" is one of those transcendent Beings of whom we have spoken, a great Angel of beautiful form, substance and God-consciousness. She is named for Beloved Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

The Spirit of Christmas is the light of Christmas, projected into the consciousness of mankind at the darkest time of the year, just after the shortest day, symbolical of the coming of our Beloved Jesus into physical embodiment. He took his final incarnation on Earth at one of the darkest periods of this world's history. Because of his embodiment at that time and the tremendous service he rendered through it, by revealing the true nature of the Heavenly Father to all life, the Earth can never again sink into those depths of human suffering and discord. Think you that it is accidental that Christmas comes near the end of the year and during its darkest period, so far as physical light is concerned? Think on this!
