Here’s
a prayer of invocation and confession for Christmas.
Christmas Opening Prayer
God
of stable, stars and surprises,
of
light and hope and new life:
open
our eyes and hearts to your presence in our world;
forgive
our obsession with property and possessions;
forgive
our compromises and narrowness of vision.
Open
us to your grace,
that
we might hear again the song of the angels,
and
respond with a song in our hearts, and in our lives. Amen.
