Great God of all peoples, who offers good news to any who will receive it, bring joy to all peoples, great and small, that each person would find in the Lord’s coming the salvation that they need and the hope for your goodness still to come, through your Messiah who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in love and peace and justice forever and ever. Amen.
‘But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.”‘ – Luke 2:10-11
