Collect, Christmas Day (Redub)

God you love the whole world.

We remember, this day how Mary gave birth.

We believe Jesus lived a fully human life,

without letting go of the divine nature.

This changes how we understand you.

This changes how we understand ourselves.

May your Spirit renew the face of the earth

and transform our lives this Christmas.

Amen.
