Prayer 704- St. Stephen's Day


Most merciful God, may we welcome into our arms the newborn Prince of Peace, and cradle him within our hearts. 

Draw us into the light of your wisdom, that we may love one another as You have loved us. Holy One, you looked with compassion on your children, and gave us the most precious gift of all: help us to see in each other the light of your image in every one of us. 

Plant mercy and peace in the winter fields of our hearts, O God, that we may walk in the way of peace. 

May the balm of your healing love fall upon us, to bring us to wholeness and sanctity. Loving One, encircle with your love those we now name, we pray You.

Amen.
