Merry Christmas!
On this holiest day of the year, let us join together to pray for those who are ill or homebound today.
All-powerful and ever-living God, in whom we live and move and have our being, we thank you and praise you for the members of this community.
Grant that they may have the loving support of their friends and relatives, that in good health they may be cheerful, and in poor health not lose hope.
Sustained by the help of your blessing, let them spend their days giving praise to your name.
Amen.
