Lord God, may we behold the joy of your birth with the humble gratitude of the shepherds.
May the grace of your Christ who comes to shepherd us help us to care for one another.
May the good news we hear in our struggling Bethlehems bring joy and hope to all our mornings.
May your coming to us as one of us inspire us to lift up one another in the dignity of being sons and daughters.
Amen.
