"Glory to you in the highest heavens, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased."
Kind Father,
You sent your angels to proclaim in song "good news to the world"
That in the baby Jesus you placed a way of salvation in the world
And this Way was good new for all people,
all could enter in, all could rejoice, all could know your salvation
You sent the angels to the Shepherds, at night, to the night watchmen
They were surprised - no one brought them good news
their world valued them little, but not You
You see, You behold, You love us all - including the night watchman
As we hear the story again, we pray for us
Who speak ill of ourselves - may we Hear Your Good News
Who wonder at what benefit we bring the world - may we Hear Your Good News
Who are lost in the darkness of our own machinations - may we Hear Your Good News
Who carry sorrow - may we Hear Your Good News
Who are overwhelmed with guilt - may we Hear Your Good News
In Jesus, the Light has dawned, Salvation is here
By your Spirit help us hear, help us sing with the Angels, help us walk with peace and joy in the way of Jesus.
Amen.
