Christmas Prayer for Peace
19 December 2024
From CEC President H.E. Archbishop Nikitas of Thyateira and Great Britain
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light – Isaiah 9:2
As our world contends with the shadows of conflict, division, and despair, we turn to Christ, the Child, who enters our lives as a radiant beacon of hope—the Prince of Peace. His great light fills our hearts with the gifts of truth and renewal, guiding us towards God’s kingdom.
This Christmas, we join with the churches of all traditions, across Europe and beyond, in celebrating the birth of our Saviour. Together, we rise above dismay, uniting in spirit of fellowship and love.
May Christ’s light brighten our hearts and homes, granting us a vision to realise dreams of peace.
We pray for a blessed 2025 and a world reflecting His heavenly kingdom.
With joyful hearts, may we embrace peace and live as children of God!
Amen.
