EUCHARISTIC PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS EVE
Eternal Wisdom,
we praise you and give you thanks,
because you emptied yourself of power
and became foolishness for our sake:
for on this night you were delivered as one of us,
a baby needy and naked,
wrapped in a woman’s blood...
This prayer was written for a eucharistic celebration on Christmas Eve 1986, at Holy Trinity House, Paddington, attended only by women. A woman priest presided. The poem That night we gathered (p. 108) was written after this occasion.
