Christmas Day

“And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

Prayer for the Day of our Lord’s Birth

Loving God, in Mary’s Son We see your secret plan revealed.

You want all creation together, Everything in heaven and on earth,

With Christ as head. You want us to be one with you, Full of love, the love you are,

Full of life, the life you are. You want us to be one with each other,

One as you and your Son are one, One as your Son is one with us.

Loving God, complete your plan. Draw people everywhere to your Son.

Use us to break down walls Separating us by race or class or sex,

Dividing us by denomination, Enslaving us to strive and conflict and war, As if you had not made us one.

With your creation We groan and sigh

For wholeness. (Sainted Churchman, mentor for Pastor Steve Klemz)
