You may light a candle.

Prayer

Jesus Christ is the light of the world,
A light no darkness can extinguish.

The light of Christ be with us.

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

Blessèd are you,
Ruler of all,
to you be glory and praise for ever!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
your glory is proclaimed in all the world.
You gave the Christ as a light to the nations,
and through the anointing of his Spirit
you established us as a royal priesthood.
As you call us into his marvellous light,
may our lives bear witness to your truth
and our lips never cease to proclaim your praise,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Amen

Collect

God of life and glory,
your Son was revealed in splendour
before he suffered death upon the cross,
grant that we, beholding the majesty,
may be strengthened to follow him
and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory,
for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.
