Gracious Lord Jesus, the glory of the Father, we thank you for taking on our flesh and living among us, that you might share our joys and struggles and know us fully and that we might be able to be with you as sibling and companion and friend, through you who reached down to us in love to bring us into the joy of the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.’ – John 1:14
