## Opening Praise

Good morning, this is Bill Young, and welcome to the Prayer at Lunch podcast. Today we continue with our prayers, focusing on the hymn, “Let us adore the Lord Jesus who came into the world.”

Lord Jesus, eagerly awaited by humanity for centuries and longed for by our poor hearts, we greet and adore you in the name of all creation.

## Gratitude for the Incarnation

We express our immense gratitude to you for coming to save us according to divine promise. We honor you with as much joy and favor as we can muster, crying together, “Glory, honor, and blessed be to you, the Word of God made flesh.”

We adore you, Son of God, and we praise you, Lamb of God, who came to take away our sins.

## Jesus as Bread of Life

We adore you, the Bread of Life, who came to give us true life. You unite yourself to us in our tears and suffering, granting us true happiness.

## The Holy Family’s Role

We adore you, O God who became a child, and we sing glory to God in the highest. We love you with all our hearts, following the example of Mary, the most holy Mother, and Joseph, the most faithful Father. We offer you our hearts with all the love you have given us.

## Closing Invocation

We close by holding our humble hearts with the strength you have given us, proclaiming: “O divine Victim of love, who came to bring us peace, hope, and joy, O Jesus, divine Child, we present ourselves before you.”

*May our adoration of the Incarnate Christ deepen our gratitude and draw us ever closer to the love of the Holy Family.*
