Here’s is a prayer of Thanksgiving
for the Christmas season, from Kate Compston and the Bread for the World website.
Christmas Prayer
Thank you,
Scandalous God,
For giving yourself to the world,
Not in the powerful and
extraordinary,
But in weakness and the familiar:
In a baby; in bread and wine.
Thank you
For offering, at journey’s end, a
new beginning;
For setting, in the poverty of a
stable,
The richest jewel of your love;
For revealing, in a particular
place,
Your light for all nations.
Thank you
For bringing us to Bethlehem, House
of Bread,
Where the empty are filled,
And the filled are emptied;
Where the poor find riches,
And the rich recognize their
poverty;
Where all who kneel and hold out
their hands
Are unstintingly fed.
