We turn to you, Lord, who gathers and guides us in your wisdom.

My sisters and brothers, we pray to hear God's voice in our lives.

We turn to God who fills our hearts with repentance.

As we begin a new year of ordinary time, our scripture readings tell us new beginnings. In a spirit of conversion we ask for God's mercy.

The celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord offers us a vision justice and peace. We pray for the healing of all division and violence.

Like the shepherds who went in haste to see the child Jesus, we eagerly seek to receive God's forgiveness and blessings.

On this day of celebration of the coming of God's Son, we pray for the grace to welcome him and follow him.

Our God is kind and faithful to us. We pray to show faithfulness to God and kindness to our neighbor.

Lord Jesus, you are the light of the world. Help us to walk in your light.

Gathered as a community of faith, we cry out to the God who saves us.
