A Christmas prayer from ‘A Prayer Book for Australia’ Broughton Books 1995, page 473

Gracious God,

You have visited your people and redeemed us in your Son:

as we prepare to celebrate his birth,

make our hearts leap for joy at the sound of your word,

and move us by your Spirit to bless your wonderful works.

We ask this through him whose coming is certain,

whose Day draws near,

your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

One God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Shalom

Bishop John
