It's Christmas Eve and I'm headed to Midnight Mass. In our hustling to get ready for Christmas Day it is easy to forget that we should welcome the stranger, visit the prisoner, shelter the homeless, and feed the poor. The last month was a blur of shopping, decorating, and parties for many. This melancholy song by the Everly Brothers should help us remember those who are lonely and forgotten in the cold tonight.
Oh, God forgive the man that drives right by the other man
Take pity on the stranger in the cold
Cause Christmas eve can kill you
When you're tryin' to hitch a ride to anywhere
