Benediction on Christmas Eve
May the wonder of this night hold a space in you each night
and every day may you know your body blessed by the birth of God within it.
May this wonder and this blessing rest in you so that you may be for others, blessing.
May you know the love of God, who comes close to you,
the grace of Jesus Christ, this night’s wordless child
and the wild, tender presence of the Holy Spirit.
This night,
and every night,
may you know it well.
