A Prayer for Epiphany

“We have seen his star in the East and have come with gifts to adore the Lord.” – Matthew 2.2

God of all Nations,
your Son born for us all,
was adored by Magi from distant lands.

Like the Magi we come before the crib
with our gifts and our lives.
May the gifts of our talents and treasures
be for the good of all and the glory of your name
as this new year unfolds.
May the gift of our life
be a witness of generosity and kindness
for all are our sisters and brothers.
May the gifts we received and gave this Christmas
be a reminder to share with those in need
in all the seasons of this year.

As we adore the Child in the Manger
we give ourselves and our lives,
we surrender them to you,
the Great Gift-Giver.

As we present our gifts
we humbly ask you to
gift and bless us with
hope, peace,
joy, and love
today and always.
Amen.

 

Happy New Year – Jubilee 2025!
