O God, who wonderfully created, and yet more wonderfully restored, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, your Son Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. BCP, p. 214 Collect for Christmas 2
Dear friends in Christ, We welcome a new calendar year with hopes and prayers for healing and restoration. May our hopes be grounded in the love and presence of the God who came among us, to share our human nature. May our lives be guided in this new season by Christ, the One who is fully divine and fully human, the One who heals and suffers, the One who brings new life out of death. May this new year be filled with grace and mercy, understanding and hope, in the Name of our Savior. Christmas blessings, Nancy+ and Christopher+
