Christmas: Intercessions:

 Priest: You are the God of a thousand faces, and yet noth­ing can reveal you com­pletely except the face of the child of Bethlehem. We pray that we may mani­fest the Christmas mystery of revealing your incar­nate love to the world. Our response will be:

R/ May your word take flesh in us

1.     For all those who give you face, especially Pope Francis and our  bishop/Archbishop ----------, by spreading your love in the world, we pray

2.     For all those who give you, hands, by doing their best for their sisters and brothers, we pray

3.     For all those who give you, a mouth, by defending the weak and the oppressed, we pray

4.     For all those who give you, eyes, by admiring every bit of love in the heart of humanity, we pray

5.     For all those who give you, a heart, by preferring the poor to the rich, the weak to the strong, we pray

6.     For all those who reveal you simply by what they are, by reflecting your beauty in their eyes, we pray

Priest: God of speech, from the beginning of time you spoke words of earth, sea, sky, sun, moon, trees, fish, cattle, man and woman. Your words had life and created reality. Throughout time, you have continued to speak to the work of your hands. Jesus, your son, became your incarnate word. He revealed the limitlessness of your words of life. Give us your life of joy and peace this Christmas again through
