Walking in Darkness, Light Found

Pastor: As in the time of Isaiah, there are times when we are walking in darkness. Let us ask God to light our hearts with the light of the Epiphany star. May its brightness dispel the darkness of our sins. 

(There is silence to call to mind your sins.)

Pastor: Lord Jesus, radiant Morning Star, who rises in the hearts of those who seek You,

People: have mercy on us.

Pastor: Lord Jesus, dazzling light of the Father's glory, who shines brightly in the midst of Your Church,

People: have mercy on us.

Pastor: Lord Jesus, Light of the world, who came to take away the sin of the world,

People: have mercy on us.

Pastor: People of God, rejoice, for because of Jesus Christ, we no longer walk in the darkness, but in the light of life. Our Lord is present and His forgiving face shines on us.  By the command of Christ and the power of the cross, your sins are forgiven in the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit.

People: Amen. The glory of the Lord has risen upon us!
