Prayer of the Day
Stir up your power, Lord Christ, and come. With your abundant grace and might, free us from the sin that would obstruct your mercy, that willingly we may bear your redeeming love to all the world, for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
John 1
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
What does it mean to you that the darkness cannot overcome the light?
To Christ our Lord, the light of the world , let us cry
with joy:
Come Lord Jesus!
Dispel our darkness with the light of your presence,
- and make us worthy of your gifts.
Save us, Lord our God,
- that we may praise your holy name this day.
Enkindle in our hearts the flame of your love,
- and make us long to be united with you.
