“O God, you make us glad by the yearly festival of the birth of your only Son Jesus Christ; grant that we who joyfully receive him as our Redeemer, may with sure confidence behold him when he comes to be our Judge.” (BCP)

Heavenly Father, we have been preparing homes in our hearts where you may dwell, we pray that everyone who has prepared a home in their heart for you will claim you, and be changed, by the renewing of their minds, so that you will continue to lead and guide them. May the light that you have restored in our lives be illumined to brighten the way for others, and the peace that you afford will be with us always. All this we ask in your precious name and let all the peoples say, ‘Amen’!
