For your contemplation: “God of all people, God of every nation, we come to Christmas with a yearning for peace. Grant us compassion for each land and nation, for everyone is sacred, yes, everyone is sacred, each person a creation of your love and grace. Forgive our blindness and our selfish motives, forgive our violence and our craving for power. We are one family from the same Creator, and when we hurt another we hurt a sister, brother, each person a creation of your love and grace.” Rodney Romney.
