Jesus Christ –
You are our great God and Savior who brings salvation to all.
Giving Yourself for us, You redeem and purify us, shaping us into Your people – people zealous for good deeds.
Incarnate grace, appear once more.
Train us while we wait for Your glory’s blessed hope and manifestation. Train us in this present age to live lives of self-control, uprightness, and godliness.
In the name of the One who has appeared and will do so once again, we pray.
Amen.
(The Nativity of the Lord is December 25.)
