The First-Born of Many Brothers
Lord Jesus, you came among us
the first-born of many brothers.

You have walked upon our earth,
you have eaten our bread,
your eyes have seen our light,
your smile has lit up our faces,
and our tears have dampened your eyes.
We pray to you:

Because you became like us
in all things except sin,
make us like you in grace.

Send us your Holy Spirit
that he may fashion us for eternity.
May your Father recognise your voice in our prayer.
May he say to each one of us:
“This is my Son, my beloved:
My favor rests on him!”

Listen to us, Lord:
we are your Church,
we are your Body, and flesh of your flesh.
You are our God and our brother,
forever and ever. Amen!    (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
