Читать книгу Stations of the Nativity - Raymond Chapman - Страница 9

Almighty God, whose blessed Son took our human nature so that we might regain our lost innocence and be restored to the divine image that was disfigured by sin, grant that as we meditate on the mystery of his humanity we may share the glory of his divinity, who lives and reigns in the unity of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

A hymn may be sung: the familiar Christmas hymns tell of the wonder of the Incarnation and the following are particularly suitable:

Hark, the herald angels sing

In the bleak midwinter

Of the Father's heart begotten

The great God of heaven is come down to earth
