O Ancient Storyteller,
author of pithy parables about lost sheep,
hidden coins, and mustard seeds,
the account of your birth still captivates
our twenty-first century technology-driven culture.
By your life, death, and resurrection,
you inscribe deep meaning into suffering,
and transform mortality with happily forever after.
Your story is our story.
Come, O Teller of Tales,
help us find the chapters of our lives
hidden inside yours.
