Prayer to be recited today on Christmas day

Come at night,
but in our heart it is always night:
and therefore always come, Lord.

Come in silence,
we no longer know what to say to each other:
and therefore always come, Lord.

Come in solitude,
but each of us is increasingly alone:
and therefore always come, Lord.

Come, son of peace,
we ignore what peace is:
and therefore always come, Lord.

Come free us,
we are more and more slaves:
and therefore always come, Lord.

Come to console us,
we are increasingly sad:
and therefore always come, Lord.

Come look for us,
we are increasingly lost:
and therefore always come, Lord,

Come, You who love us:
nobody is in communion with his brother
if he is not with you before, O Lord.

We are distant, lost,
nor do we know who we are, what we want:
come, Lord,
always come, Lord.
