Christmas Prayer: From AndreaGrace's Blog

 https://www.revandreagrace.com/post/a-christ-mas-prayer



Divine Love-


In Solidarity

You chose to come to earth

In the darkness, that we may recognize the light


To remind us of Your Eternal Presence

From the beginning of time

Ruah – breath of life

Breath of heaven

The Word that became incarnate – 

Took form in creation and 

In each of us

Your presence throughout the generations –

merciful and forgiving

gracious and patient

abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness 


To remind us of Your Eternal Essence

A Mama Hen

A Generous Dad

A woman with a lost coin who hosts a party when she finds it

A father with two lost sons who hosts a feast when the first returns

You are Both-And


In solidarity, You came to accompany us bringing

Compassion as You enter our suffering

Hope and new life as You enter our deaths

Courage to build a new kin-dom 

with justice and mercy

kindness and abounding love 


And so we come once again this Christ-mas season

Knowing in You we find the Bread of Life

In you we experience the 

Miracles of life

The healing of body, mind, heart and spirit

The Way of Love

The Way of Life


We come bringing you 

our hearts

our minds

our very selves


And You welcome us 

just as we are


As we adore YOU, 

Mama Mary and Papa Joseph

lovingly adore each of us 

and gently place YOU

in OUR arms

to be cradled

so that YOU may 

grow with Your wisdom and grace

in us

in our lives

in our world

Your angels surround us singing the praises

And whispering Your truth in our souls:

We came from Love

We are Loved

We are to be Love in this world.


And for all of this we re-joy-ce with hearts overflowing with gratitude


Amen. So be it.
