A Christmas Tree Blessing

Perfect for keeping the reason for the season front and center. It's to be said when putting up the tree as well as when watering the tree:


Holy Lord,
We come with joy to celebrate the birth of your Son, who rescued us from the darkness of sin by making the Cross a tree of life and light.

May this tree, arrayed in splendor, remind us of the life-giving Cross of Christ, that we may always rejoice in the new life that shines in our hearts. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.


Courtesy of my parish.

God bless,
Jay
