The Blessing of The Light

MENU

You may light a candle.

Prayer

You, O Lord, are my lamp; you turn darkness into light.
The light of Christ be with you
And also with you.

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

Blessèd are you,
God our light and our salvation;
to you be glory and praise for ever!
You led your people to freedom
by a pillar of cloud by day,
and a pillar of fire by night.
May we who walk in the light of your presence
acclaim your Christ, rising victorious,
as he banishes all darkness from our hearts and minds,
and praise you,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!

Collect

Eternal God,
by raising Jesus from the dead
you proclaimed his victory,
and by his ascension
you declared him king.
Lift up our hearts to heaven
that we may live and reign with him.
Amen.
