Lord our God, in the mystery of the holy Nativity, we lift our hearts in gratitude, for You chose to enter our world as a gentle child, to draw near to our weakness, heal our wounds, and open for us the door of hope
Jesus, Word of the father made flesh, teach us to be born anew with You, to leave behind the darkness of fear and selfishness, and to walk in the light of Your love and peace
Make our hearts a worthy manger for Your presence, our homes places of joy and reconciliation, and our lives a living testimony that God is with us, today and always
Glory be to You with the father and the Holy Spirit, now and forever
