Loving God,
your light shone brightly in the stable of Bethlehem:
draw us to worship the Child in the manger
and use us to tell the story of his love to the world;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

AUTHOR OF LIFE,
HEALER OF THE NATIONS;
GRANT US COURAGE TO FACE OUR TRIAL,
GIVE US WISDOM TO FIND RELIEF, GIVE US FAITH TO BE RESPONSIBLE
AND GRANT US YOUR SALVATION
FOR JESUS CHRIST’S SAKE. AMEN.
