Prayer for Love -- Advent 4

PRAYER FOR LOVE (with thanks to Christina Rossetti)
In the beginning was the Word, the source of all
God what was the Word? Was it a word of Love?
And then the Word became flesh and lived among us.
God we celebrate the birth of a baby, where we meet you in flesh.
Love came down at Christmas...Love was born at Christmas
God we give thanks for the gift of Love, active love, love in a real body.
As people who strive to follow the Law of Love that this baby will teach, we pledge:
Love shall be our token...Love to God and love to all..Love for plea and gift and sign.
We pray in the name of Jesus, Word-Made-Flesh, Love embodied, whose birth is now just days away.
Amen.
