Christmas - Emmanuel - God With Us




Almighty God,

You have made this night holy but the gift of your son,

born of the Holy Spirit and of Mary.

Upon him rested all your grace,

through him has come all your mercy.

Let His light shine within our hearts tonight

and even more brightly than is shines 

from the candles in this place.

Help us to hear your word

and to celebrate your everlasting love through him.

Amen

An exquisite picture to complement exquisite words. Thank you for this beautiful post, and thank you for linking it up with Liturgical Time. Is that your parish altar? So beautiful.

Merry Christmas ladies!

Michelle, This is our parish altar. We have a small rural church built in the 1870s that we absolutely love. I really should post about it!
