25 December Christmas Day
The Word became flesh; he made his home among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as befits the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth. John 1: 14
Lord, as we thank you for what you did for us long ago and for all that we have now, we pray for those for whom Christmas is not a happy time, those living with the worry or pain of illness or grief, those who are lonely, those separated from loved ones, those who lack shelter or food, those worried about money or job, those who live in fear of their lives
