The Blessing of The Light

MENU

You may light a candle.

Prayer

Christ your light shall rise in the darkness
And your healing shall spring up like the dawn.

The light of Christ be with you

Let us give thanks to God
It is right to offer thanks and praise.

Blessèd are you,
Shepherd of your pilgrim people:
their pillar of cloud by day,
their pillar of fire by night.
Stir up in us the fire of your love
which shone forth from your Son
enthroned on the cross,
that being cleansed from our sins
we may come into your presence,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Amen.

Collect

Almighty and merciful God,
you hate nothing that you have made
and forgive the sins of all who are penitent;
create in us new and contrite hearts,
so that when we turn to you and confess our sins
we may receive your full and perfect forgiveness;
through Jesus Christ our Redeemer.
Amen.
