January 3 Prayer

January 3 Prayer -Epiphany Sunday

“The mystery is made known to me through revelation.” Eph.3
The wise men came to follow the star to Jesus and being warned in a dream they went back home by another way. Matt.2
“Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” Is.60:1-6

Follow the star that leads to Jesus and when you get there bow down your knee
And when you rise let his light shine upon you
And take the journey ahead.

The way will be made known as you start walking
Take nothing with you but faith, hope and love.

You will only be lead where you want to go.
So let these three lead you.

And ask yourself where do you want to go?
Where do you want to grow?

Let the light of Christ arise in you,
Drink it, eat it and consume all the hope you can get
Until it will emanate from your very being
like moonbeams shooting forth in a black, dark night.

Let the mystery enfold you and empower you so you may be his light in the world.

For All will be restored when we rise tighter together as one.

We pray ,O Lord for you to go before us with you glorious light to shine the way.
May we always be willing to enter into the mystery of Christ in us,
To reveal your glory here on earth.

In the epiphanies that you reveal to us, may we be open enough to follow and go another way no matter how hard it will be.

We want to go where you want us to go and rebuild faith, hope and love in our families and community.

May we have a clear sight to perceive with true affection the mystery in which you have called us to participate through Jesus Christ, our lord.

Amen
