Opening Prayer:

Lord, let your glory dawn to take away our darkness.

May we be revealed as the children of light at the coming of your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Closing Prayer:
God of my heart, Some days I just feel like I am stumbling around in the darkness.

It is then - and only then - that I turn to you.

Soften my hardened heart, open my closed-in spirit and take away the darkness in my life.

If I just let myself feel your glory dawning, full of brightness, I could look around to see myself revealed in you.

Let me be a child of your light and feel the fire of your love and the glory of your words.

Most of all, let me be grateful to you.

Amen.
