We do not simply recall that first holy night. We celebrate the presence of that story as a reality in our lives, a Christ story for all time. The joy of the nativity story is not just for a few weeks in December. It is for all year, every single day, when we try to be present to the people in our own lives, sharing the gift of ourselves, having time to unwrap our talents and share them fulsomely, finding that sparkle with which to illuminate all the other days of our year.

Compassionate God,
you call us to be good stewards
of our resources and to show love and compassion to our neighbours.

Help us to open our eyes to the needs of others and give us strength to sacrifice for
the greater good of our communities.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen

Wherever you are, aspire to great things — to holiness. Do not settle for less. Then you will see the light of the Gospel grow every day in you and around you.

POPE LEO XIV

God of Creation,
Christ of the Cosmos,
and Spirit of Breath over the Ocean,
as we wait patiently, open our hearts,
make them brim with faith and hope.
Lead us from the wilderness
and bring us to rest in your saving love
as, with great joy,
we celebrate your guiding light this Christmas.
We ask this in Jesus’ name
Amen

Precious Jesus, you are always with me.
You never leave my side.
Make me more aware of your presence
as I journey through this world of toil and sneer
on my way home to the place you
have prepared for me.
Teach me to love as you love
so that I may publicly bear your image.
Teach me to bleed as you bleed
so that I may fully rejoice at your birth. Amen

So much of our world is at war, in peril, and in sorrow. Our hearts break for those we cannot save from suffering. We can look at this suffering and believe that God is not present, or we can remember that humans often create the suffering and that God provides the sturdy shelter amid the storm.

When our hearts begin to harden, can we turn towards God rather than away, and know that God remains even when all else fails? God is present in the suffering, in the struggle, in the never-ending possibility of repentance and peace.
God of justice in your mercy, forgive our sins and guide us on the path to peace.
