Standing Together in Prayer

“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests” (Luke 2: 14)

O Most Holy God, by being far from You, we have been excluded. Through Your humility, You have brought us closer to You. O God, You took the human nature, without participating in sin. With love, You thought us the care for our sisters and brothers (from the Christmas Fast Prayer at the Orthodox Church).
