*_And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not._*

(John 1:5)

*Prayer :*

So help us to walk in this light, in Your light. May our actions be in step with our beliefs. May we walk the talk. May we keep no dark secrets, nor hide anything away - especially not the light You now place within our hearts.

Help us, too, to reach out in the light of love to others: to those who still walk in darkness; to those who live in the shadows of poverty and injustice; and to those who need help to see the Way.

Light up our life, Lord, that we may shine like stars, in brilliance, in wonder, but most of all, in love.
In Jesus' name. AMEN
