Jesus, word of the Father made flesh, we stand in awe before the mystery of Your Nativity

You are the God who chose closeness, the King born in a humble manger

Teach us to recognize you in simplicity, in weakness, and in every heart that seeks You

Free us from our pride and clothe us with Your divine humility

Child of Bethlehem, plant your peace deep within us

Make our hearts a living manger for You, that we may carry You to the world as a witness of love and a light that never fades

Glory be to You with the father and the Holy Spirit, now and forever

.Amen
