Father, you used the star to lead the Magi to the stable. May you use us as your little lights today as we live in a world that is still covered by darkness.

We live in a world that is searching for hope and many still need to make the pilgrimage to the manger, the cross and to the empty tomb.

May our lives reflect your light as we seek to serve where you have placed us.

We pray for our world to have a year of epiphanies and receive the gift of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
