Come, Morning Star,
heralding the new dawn
of your kingdom;
shine your guiding light
into the darkness
of our world and of our ways,
that we may be drawn
by the hope you set before us,
opening our hearts and lives
to the refining fire
of your love for all.

aligned with and
attuned to your love;
heal our spirits
by your presence
in us and with us.
Help us to discern your way,
and follow it joyfully.

Lord Jesus,
help us truly to see
who you are;
to recognise your
divinity and humanity,
and the love which
binds both into one
and which lifts us
to the heights of heaven.
As we prepare to celebrate
around the crib,
help us to take up
the cross of that love
for all.

This is our cry, Lord Jesus,

your incarnation,
so we prepare for
the fullness of your kingdom.
We rejoice in your presence with us,
driving out our fears,
and drawing us by hope.
Fill us with your peace.

to bring your love to birth
in the hearts of
our parishes and their people,

and the love we share.

You sow into our lives, Lord,
the seeds of your kingdom,
of your love,
that we may bear
the good fruit of your grace.
Although we allow other seeds
also to take root within us
and bear their own fruit,
sift from us that
which is not of you;
fill us with your peace.

Lord Jesus,
give us ears and eyes,
hearts and minds
to understand
your call upon us
to follow the way
of your kingdom;
and when we wander off
and lose our way,
to heed your call
to turn back to you,
bringing our burdens
to exchange for
the easy weight
of your love.

When we struggle, Lord,
with the circumstances

when issues are overwhelming,
when we cannot see the way ahead,
and when hope seems extinct,
remind us of your presence with us,
that we may reach out to you
in the assurance of your love for us.

as expressions of your love,
bearing your grace for all.

Grant us, Lord,
the wisdom and courage
to meet injustice
not with a desire
for revenge and retribution,
but with the strength
to expose it, name it,
and shame it.
Guide us not to play evil
at its own game,
but to show to all the way
of your justice, peace and love.
