Prayer of Blessing and Consecration

To the Prince of Peace, we praise your name. We now dedicate to You these our symbols of
the Nativity, the Advent season, our Christian Faith, these monetary gifts and our Joy in
Your presence. O God, we now dedicate our lives anew to the service of Christ and pray that
they may be filled with Your Love and Joy, so perfectly revealed through the Birth and Life
of Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
