“You, all-powerful Word leapt from Heaven’s throne to unworthy Earth. Embracing humanity, born of mystery and manger, You chose a humble couple for parents, a stable for your first home.
The world is again coming to You on bended knee. We join Your eternal plan, naming You Prince of Peace and offering back to You the Earth You gave us.
Help us do what You came to teach us to do: feed the hungry, cloth the naked, care for creation. Once again may we who walk in darkness see a great light, the glow of the Incarnate Word on every face, in every bit of creation.
With Your blessing at Christmas once again the earth will repeat the sounding joy.”
