A Christmas Prayer

An Eighth-Century Mosaic of Jesus, Ravenna, Italy

May you recognize and welcome incarnations of God around you

and inside you everyday.

May we see the image of God in each other,

treat each other accordingly,

and strive to do better in this regard when we fail.

And, on this and every other day,

may we remember the rest of the story of Jesus’ life.

In the name of God, who loves us all, and whose grace alone empowers us to accomplish all these goals. Amen.

KENNETH RANDOLPH TAYLOR
