On this sacred Christmas morning,
We pause to celebrate the miracle of Jesus’ birth.
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of Your Son, who brought salvation, hope, and light to the world.
Fill our hearts with gratitude, our homes with peace, and our spirits with joy.
Jesus, guide us today and every day of our lives.
Place Your peace and forgiveness in our hearts,
so we may let go of the hurts others have caused us
and walk in Your mercy and love.
Help us remember the poor, the lonely, the sick,
and bring hope and comfort to those who suffer.
Even those who have done wrong, draw them back to You, Lord,
so they may know Your grace and love.
Lead us, protect us, and shine Your light upon our path
until our last day, that we may live faithfully and share Your love.
Thank You, Jesus, for this new day, for Your endless mercy,
and for Your presence that never leaves us.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
