January 25 – January 31, 2021    4th Sunday after Epiphany  

Jesus Christ,

You are the light of the world,

Light shining in deepest night,

Which cannot overcome it.  

Thanks and praise to you,

O God of endless light.

Shine in our hearts.

Reveal the light that never fades.  

Thank you for the blessings of life,

For the wonders of the world,

And for the gift of Jesus Christ who lived and died,

And lives again wherever justice is known,

Wherever love is found.

Mighty and tender God,

Hear the prayers of all who call upon you,

For the church, for the nations, for all who suffer:

The sick, the sorrowful, the lonely, the oppressed,

And for those who lie heavy on our heart.

Answer our prayers and fulfil our hopes.

May the peace of God guard our hearts and minds in Jesus. Amen.
