Prayer at the Crib
- Prayer at the Crib.
God, our Father, as we look upon this crib, we thank you for all who are part of the Christmas
story and our story, too.
We thank you for the gift of Jesus, your Son, who
was born like us, lived like us, struggled like us,
and who has shown us how to be fully human;
to our lives, he brings joy and peace, justice, mercy and love.
May this crib be a beacon of hope for us and for
the whole world as we face the coming days with
courage and renewed strength.
May the star of Bethlehem which shone brightly
over the first crib stand guard over our home and family,
filling us and all the earth with light and peace.
And may we know, believe and share the Christmas message of Emmanuel,
that God is always with us. Amen.
