It’s Christmas! The Word became a human being and set love alight on earth. It’s Christmas! And we would never wish the sun to set on this day. Teach us, O Lord, how to preserve your presence among us. It’s Christmas! Let your love, set alight on earth, burn our hearts and let us love one another as you desire!
