God of our joy, through Jesus you have revealed the mystery of your love for us. In company with St. John we pray: Fill our hearts with praise, O God.
The Word was made flesh and lived among us: open our senses to your divine presence among us.
Fill our hearts with praise, O God.
Your faithful love is better than life: shape our hearts by your holy Word during this Christmastide, and help us to love one another.
Fill our hearts with praise, O God.
You make all things new: bring lasting peace to the Middle East and all war-torn places in our world.
Fill our hearts with praise, O God.
Our Father . . .
May the wisdom that St. John proclaimed take root in our hearts and minds, through Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. Amen.
