the Word -
The world came to be through You, and You came to all that was Yours. May the world know You, and may Your people accept You.
You empower us to become God’s children. May we all be born of God.
You became flesh, lived among us, and made God known to us. May we see God’s glory through the fullness of Your grace and truth.
We receive from Your fullness grace upon grace. May this truth enlighten us all.
In the name of the One who is with God and who is God, we pray.
Amen.
