Christmas Prayer
|
 |
 |
|
Let the just rejoice,
for their justifier is born.
Let the sick and infirm rejoice,
For their saviour is born.
Let the captives rejoice,
For their Redeemer is born.
Let slaves rejoice,
for their Master is born.
Let free men rejoice,
For their Liberator is born.
St. Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-440)

Christmas Prayer 2000

Touch us Lord with Your truly Amazing Christmas Grace
Trouble us Lord with the pain and sadness in our world.
Trust us Lord to try our best to know and to do Your will.
Teach us Lord to know and to see You in every human
being whose path we’ll cross this coming year.
Take us, incarnate Lord, into Your arms, Your love,
Your life, Your tomorrows.
And at this special time year, may we be ever
thankful for Your incredible give of love - in Jesus.

The Work of Christmas
|
|
|
|
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star of the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flocks,
The work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost,
to heal the broken,
to feed the hungry,
to release the prisoner,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among people
to make music in the heart.
