Occasional Prayers

O God our heavenly Father, who hast manifested thy love towards mankind in sending thine only Son into the world, that all might live through him: We pray thee to speed forth these good tidings of great joy to every nation, that the people who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death may see the great light and may come, with us, to worship him whose name is called Wonderful, even our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
