Lord Jesus - you are a light to the nations.
Christ Jesus - you are our hope.
Lord Jesus - you are the Son of God.
Prayers of the faithful:
Priest: As we journey through the days of the Christmas season, we now bring our prayers to our loving and merciful God.
1. That through our words and deeds, we in the Church may be a light to those who are searching for direction and a sign of hope for those seeking new beginnings.
2. For a deeper awareness of the signs along our spiritual journey. That we may learn from the people and experiences in our lives, recognizing God’s presence in them.
3. For God’s blessings in the new year of 2025. We pray that God will fill the coming days with health of body, mind, and spirit.
4. That God will renew the gifts of the Spirit within us, and inspire us with new ways to share Christ’s Good News with others.
5. For greater trust: that, like three Magi we celebrated last Sunday, God’s light may guide us through the coming days.
6. For a great utilization of our gifts and talents: that we may offer all our gifts to God and use them in the service of God’s reign.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: Heavenly Father, we present our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
