Prayer of the Community

God give us eyes to see the Christmas Star. And give us ears to hear the song of angels from afar.  And, with our eyes and ears attuned for a message from above, speak to us your message of hope and faith and love:  Hope to light our pathway when the way ahead is dark.  Faith to trust in things unseen and know that it is in our Fathers love we live and have our being.  And Love to break down barriers that alienate us from each other, and to see and help all those in need.  Hear us as we pray…
