Almighty God, who came to us long ago in the birth of Jesus, come again.
Be born in us anew, O Savior and Light of the World. By the power of your Holy Spirit, break through the darkness of our worlds, the darkness of our own hearts, to frighten and free us.
Rouse us. Stir up our hearts this Christmas season. Let heaven intrude
upon our earthly affairs to rip our attention from the darkness of this world
to your Light of Life. Amen.
