Jesus, the Light of the World,
as we celebrate your birth
may we begin to see the world
in the light of the understanding you give us.
As you chose the lowly, the outcasts,
and the poor to receive the greatest news
the world had ever known,
so may we worship you
in meekness of heart.
May we also remember
our brothers and sisters
less fortunate than ourselves
in this season of giving.
Amen.
