Lord God at Christmas,
you made yourself small
so that we may see you
and know that you are looking at us
- eye to eye.
As we look into your eyes
help us to see
the love that conquers death,
the love that knows pain
the love that does not count the cost
the love that makes its home in the womb of a woman
and finds itself being nursed at the breast.
Hold us in this love.
Amen.
(Patrick Curran, 2011)
