Merry Christmas to all!
A prayer by David Blanchflower...

Holy Child of Bethlehem,
whose parents found no room in the inn,
we pray for all who are homeless.

Holy Child of Bethlehem,
born in a stable,
we pray for all who are living in poverty.

Holy Child of Bethlehem,
rejected stranger,
we pray for all who are lost, alone, all who cry for loved ones.

Holy Child of Bethlehem,
whom Herod sought to kill,
we pray for all in danger, all who are persecuted.

Holy Child of Bethlehem,
a refugee in Egypt,
we pray for all who are far from home.

Holy Child of Bethlehem,
in you the Eternal was pleased to dwell,
help us, we pray, to see the divine image in people everywhere.
