Father, we thank You for sending Your Son on this Christmas Day.
Help us to welcome Him with joy, follow Him with courage,
and share His mercy with all we meet.
We also thank You for the year we’ve had,
for the highs and the lows, for the lessons learned
and the growth we’ve experienced.
We trust that You have been with us every step of the way.
May the new year bring us closer to You.
Amen.
— By a Columban Missionary
