O God our redeemer, you created light that we might live, and you illumine our world with your beloved Son. By your Spirit comfort us in all darkness, and turn us toward the light of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
God, our maker and redeemer, you have made us a new company of priest to bear witness to the Gospel. Enable us to be faithful to our calling to make known your promises to all the world. Amen.
