Holy
Jesus,
to
deliver us from the power of darkness
you
humbled yourself to be born among us
and
laid in a manger.
Let
the light of your love
always
shine in our hearts,
and
bring us at last
to
the joyful vision of your beauty,
for
you are now alive and reign
with
the Father and the Holy Spirit,
God
for ever and ever. Amen
