Here’s a statement of petition and commitment for
Christmas from the Christian Aid website. (You could also substitute "you" for "us" and make it a closing benediction/blessing.)
Christmas Affirmation
Let the love that shaped earth and heaven
dwell within us this Christmas.
Let the love that created humanity
dwell within us this Christmas.
Let the love that overcomes suffering and
hatred
dwell within us this Christmas.
Let the love that causes us to rejoice with loved
ones
dwell within us this Christmas.
Let the love that forgives and renews
dwell within us this Christmas.
Let the love that brings reconciliation after separation
dwell within us this Christmas.
Let the love that brings the blessing of peace
dwell within us this Christmas.
And may we share that peace
with all people near and far. Amen.
