Prayers of the People—Christmas Eve & Christmas 2011
Sisters and brothers, come let us adore Christ, the Lord. Let us pray to the Lord saying, “Glorious Lord, grant us your peace.”

Silence
Glorious Lord,

Glorious Lord,
grant us your peace.
Christ the Lord, we humbly adore thee: may all of creation burst forth in songs of praise. May all the works of your hand glorify you.
