Blessing of the Crèche:
God of Mary and Joseph, of shepherds and animals, bless us whenever we gaze on this manger scene.
Through all the days of Christmas, may these figures tell the story how humans, angels, and animals found the Christ in this poor place. Fill our house with hospitality, joy, gentleness, and thanksgiving, and guide our steps in the way of peace. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
COLLECT OF THE DAY
Lord Jesus Christ, your birth at Bethlehem draws us to kneel in wonder at heaven touching earth: accept our heartfelt praise as we worship you, our Saviour and our eternal God. Amen.
