A Christmas Prayer 25 December 2025

Almighty God, who on this day broke into our world as a child in Bethlehem,
grant that the light which dawned in that stable may shine ever more brightly in our hearts and in all the world.
As we have beheld your glory in the face of the infant Jesus, strengthen our hope in his promised return,
when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that he is Lord.
Until that day, make us faithful witnesses of your Kingdom,
living as people of hope who know that the One who came will surely come again.

Amen
