O Almighty God, as the man Jesus you were hungry and fed the hungry as God. You were hungry and man and yet are the true Bread of Life. As a man you were thirsty and yet called all to “come and drink”. You were, as man, weary and yet You are our rest. I ask you to come into my heart and truly prepare me to celebrate Your birth as a man and commit myself to living as You lived. Help me to live as You did, unconditionally loving even those who betrayed You and killed You. I ask Your help and offer praise to You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
