We sing
But many have no voice.
Give hope to the poor, the dispossessed, to those whose future seems bleak.
Protect and strengthen those who suffer hardship and persecution
because they believe in and follow you.
We listen
But many do not hear the Christmas message.
We ask that unbelieving hearts be touched by this most wondrous story.
We see Your star
But often do not notice you in our fellow men.
Open our eyes to take every opportunity to serve others because
when we do that, we serve YOU.
We feast and celebrate
But many have no means to do so.
Spur us on to share our riches with
those in poverty, just as you shared yourself with us. May the
lonely be truly comforted, the
sick given hope and
the bereaved consoled in
ways that do not rest upon men alone.
We pray for ourselves.
May we be renewed in spirit and in
purpose. May the story of your birth stay continually in our heart and lives.
We pray these things in the wonderful name of Jesus. Amen.
