Grant us faith, O Christ, to see your presence among us
A thought
Somehow, not only for Christmas, but all the long year through, The joy that you give to others, Is the joy that comes back to you. – John Greenleaf Whittier
A prayer
Light of life, you came in flesh, born into human pain and joy, and gave us power to be your children. Grant us faith, O Christ, to see your presence among us, so that all of creation may sing new songs of gladness and walk in the way of peace. Amen.
