Let us ask the Father of mercies who anointed his Son with the Holy Spirit and sent him to preach the good news to the poor:
God of mercy, have mercy on us.
Merciful, ever-living God, you desire all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of your truth. We thank you for giving your only-begotten Son to the world,
— let the whole world rejoice in his birth.
God of mercy, have mercy on us.
You sent him to proclaim the good news to the poor, to announce release to captives and to proclaim a time of favor,
— grant freedom and peace to mankind.
God of mercy, have mercy on us.
You directed the wise men to adore your Son,
— receive the homage of our faith and prayer.
God of mercy, have mercy on us.
After the wise men, you called all people out of the darkness and into your wonderful light, so that at Jesus’ name every knee should bend,
— make us go forth as witnesses of the good news.
God of mercy, have mercy on us.
You made Christ, born in Bethlehem, a light to the nations,
— reveal your glory to our brothers and sisters who have died.
God of mercy, have mercy on us.
