Prayer 2521: On Christmas Eve


Most Merciful God,
let the whole earth and all that lives within it 
sing out your glory and praise! 
Holy One, envelop us through your Holy Spirit
to join in the cloud of witnesses who worship You with joy. 

Let us remember tonight the birth of your Son,
born as a poor refugee, and work for others to have a home. 
Let us be guided by you, Lord Christ, our Daystar, 
to follow the path of wisdom to your side. 
Let us seek to uphold each other in a common life
bound by the love that Christ births in us, and calls us to embody.

Bend near to hear the whispered prayers of your people, O God, 
and place the mantle of your blessing on those we now name.

Amen.
