Prayer for the Christmas Season:

Holy and living God, you sent Jesus your Son into the world to take upon our human nature. Prepare and purify our hearts, that the Word of God, who was born in a manger 2000 years ago, may be born in our hearts and that He would direct our lives to the glory of your name. Through Jesus the Lord, Amen.

Prayer for St John's Day (December 27)
Eternal God, you called St John to witness the crucifixation of your Son, Jesus Christ. Breathe your Spirit upon us so that we may be witnesses to your enduring and eternal life, through Jesus the Christ, Amen.
