Lord, true light and source of all light, listen to our morning prayer. Turn our throughts to what is holy and may we ever live in the light of your love.

May we see all and all things in a positive light filled with your being.

Jesus, the true light

He gives light to all people.

Feast of The Epiphany

We have seen his star in the East and have come with gifts to worship the Lord.

Wise Men Still Seek Him

Epiphany

The star burned like a flame, pointing the way to God, the King of Kings; the wise men saw the sign and brought their gifts in homage to their great King.
The Lord gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals what is deep and hidden; all light has its source in Him.

January 1st, Mary, Mother of God

Joy to you, O Virgin Mary,
Mother of the Lord!

Father,
source of light in every age,
the virgin conceived and bore your Son
who is called Wonderful God, Prince of Peace.
May her prayer, the gift of a mother's love,
be your people's joy through all ages.
May her response, born of a humble heart,
draw your Spirit to rest on your people.

Grant this through Christ our Lord.

A Christmas Prayer

Almighty God and

Father of Light,

a child is born for us,

and a son is given to us.

Your Eternal Word

leaped down from heaven

in the silent watches of the night,

and now your Church

is filled with wonder

at the nearness of her God.

Open our hearts to receive His life

and increase our vision

with the rising of dawn,

that our lives may be filled

with His glory and His peace

forever and ever.

Amen.

The Liturgy of the Hours

Christmas Eve

Today you will know the Lord is coming, and in the morning you will see his glory.

Christmas

It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you . . . yes, it is Christmas every time you smile at your brother and offer him your hand.
{Bl Mother Teresa}

The Lord is close at hand; come, let us worship him.
