This Christmas, may we…

This Christmas, may we…

Glimpse the promise of the future, as did Mary
Know our duty, and resist judgement, as did Joseph
Honour new life and praise new creation, as did the shepherds and angels

May we seek wisdom beyond our tradition as did the Magi
Offer hospitality as did the Innkeeper
And in so doing, may we all discover the sacred among us, as did all those present at the first nativity

And so may the grace, inspiration and mercy of Christmas be yours this year and throughout the year
Amen
