Lord, as we celebrate the gift of your birth, may we see your grace in those around us, finding love and joy in the company of our loved ones. As you are the light of the world, may we see your presence in every Christmas light that brightens our streets in December. May we see the world as you show it to us, remembering our less fortunate brothers and sisters during this season of giving. And may we be filled with the obedience of Mary and Joseph, the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, the determination of the magi, and the peace of the Christ child, knowing we have nothing to fear, for you have come to save us.
Amen.
MERRY
Christmas
