Lighting the Candle
Sung
response: I am the light of the world!You
people come and follow me!If
you follow and love you’ll learn the mysteryOf
what you were meant to do and be. VU 87
God
summons Jesus’ disciples to speak words of comfort,
to
shine God’s light on the road we travel together.
May
the Creator’s light open our eyes to see the world as God dreams
it.
May
the Spirit’s light help us to see what stands in the way of God’s
vision,
and
may the Christ show us how to smooth the path that leads the world
there.
Sung response: I am the light of the world!
Opening Prayer
God
of vision and promise, your prophets speak words of comfort to those
who despair.
May
we hear your hope for our time.
Your
prophets speak with love about your promise.
May
your compassion open us to see each other and the world as you do.
Your
prophets challenge all people to work for your vision.
May
we be the salt that enables all to taste your godliness. May we be
the light that draws out the God-colours of this world for all to
see. May all creation rejoice together in your light. Amen.
