Christmas Prayer

[kellie]

Is there a particular prayer that should be said on Christmas Day at home before we eat our Christmas Dinner?

I would like to make this year extra special to thank God for my family who have helped me through some bad times.

Sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

You can act as the leader and light a Christmas candle at the table and say:

Glory to God in the highest.

You family and those round the table respond:

And peace to his people on earth.

You as leader then pray:

Lord Jesus,
in the peace of this season
our spirits rejoice:
With the beasts and angels,
the shepherds and stars,
with Mary and Joseph
we sing God’s praise.

By your coming
may the hungry be filled with good things,
and may our table and home be blessed.

Glory to God in the highest.

Family and friends respond:

And peace to his people on earth.

Sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
