She will have a son,
and you will name him Jesus—because he will save his people from their sins -
Matthew 1:21

A Christmas Day Prayer
Praise to You, Lord God!
You have become one of us -- You have
become a human being, while still retaining all your power and holiness as God!
You, O Lord, made the journey of the
unborn child. By being an embryo, a fetus, and a newborn, you joined all unborn
and newborn children to you!
From the beginning of history, O Lord,
You were the Creator of every human life. Now, with Christmas, You join
Yourself in an unthinkable way with the life You created.
Let this Christmas, O God, fill all of
us with awe and wonder at how close human life is to You.
Cleanse the world of all that tarnishes
and rejects this gift. Purify our hearts of all that fears this gift.
Let our Christmas joy be the joy of welcoming
every human life! Amen!
