Post Communion, First Sunday of Christmas (Redub)

God of heaven, home and hearth.

In Jesus you lived a life less ordinary

and yet a human life through and through.

Jesus knew both people and planet as his own.

Help us, all peoples, all the earth,

to share this our only home.

Fulfil our longing to belong to

one another and to you.

Amen.
