As we enter into this story in our day,

may we decry tyrants that still rule, expose forces that still terrorize, confront the realities that still displace.

As we enter into this story in our day,

may we celebrate the ones who follow their heart, who centre the child, who defy those who deal in death

May our gifts be passion, commitment and action for a day when all children under the star filled skies might thrive in dignity, safety and possibility. In the name of the toddler Christ,

Amen
