Loving God, this Christmas season we remember the wondrous gift of your transforming love, born among us in humility and hope.
Unite our hearts across our differences, that we may become one in spirit and purpose.
Kindle in us a passion for justice, that all might live in dignity, peace, and joy.
Help us restore hope and honour the worth of every neighbour.
As we receive the light of Christ, teach us to work together to gratefully receive the gifts of each other’s traditions and to generously share your love and joy with the world.
Amen.
By Doral Hayes, Principal Officer for Ecumenical Development and Relations at Churches Together in England.
