Lord,
Thank you for spending 33 years with us; for announcing Love from the high heavens; for introducing Love in an obscure manger setting; for living Love in a family framework; for sharing Love with the poor and deprived and diseased; for showing Love to the unlovable and unloving; for letting little children feel Love in your arms; for suffering on a cross because of Love; for loosing Love upon the world to take up residence in us; for your Love that will not let us go. Amen.
