Reading - Luke 2:6-7
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
Reflection
Jesus was born in a stable where Mary wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger. Is there a time when you met a newborn baby. How did you react?
Prayer
Lord, we pray for maternity wards and midwifes that help bring new life into the world. We pray for those who don’t have access to safe maternity services. Amen.
