A Christmas Blessing

May Almighty God, who sent his Son to take our nature upon him,

bless you in this holy season, scatter the darkness of sin,

and brighten your heart with the light of his holiness.


May God, who sent his angels to proclaim the glad news of the Savior’s birth, fill you with joy, and make you heralds of the Gospel. 


May God, who in the Word made flesh joined heaven to earth and

earth to heaven, give you his peace and favor. 


And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

be upon you and remain with you for ever. Amen.
