A Christmas Prayer for Those Who Feel Invisible

O Sovereign King,You who see the unseen and forgotten people,Who sent Your royal angelic heraldTo the unclean, uncouth shepherds,The offscourings of society,Distant from the rites of public worship,But not from Your gaze:Proclaim Your good news of great joyTo the invisible souls on the margins of church and culture now;Invade our darkness with Your light,Our fear with Your joy,Our alienation with Your presence,Our anonymity with Your attentive delight,That we also might sound forth Your praisesAnd herald the glories You proclaim to us,So that all glory and worship might resoundTo Jesus the Savior,Virgin-born yet God-enfleshed.Holy and gracious is He.Blessed be His name.Amen.
