God of salvation, you reveal yourself in the humble birth of Christ. In faith we pray: Teach us your ways, O God.  

Help us to fix our hearts on Jesus and celebrate fully the days of Christmas. 

Teach us your ways, O God. 

Inspire Pope Francis, bishops, and pastors to collaborate with listening hearts and openness to the Spirit. 

Teach us your ways, O God. 

Guide the activity and prayer of youth ministers, faith formation groups, and pilgrimages. 

Teach us your ways, O God. 

Our Father . . .  

May the Word of God be a lamp for our feet and a light for our way, through Jesus, the dawn of justice and hope of the world. Amen.
