Many: Everyone of us is beloved in God’s sight!
One: We will find our hope where fear is overwhelmed by grace, where hatred is overwhelmed by love, where all people are overwhelmed by joy.
Many: May God’s light in us illuminate the world! Amen.
 
Opening Prayer (in unison) - Mike Hall
God of all nations, peoples and cultures, you led the Magi to your love by the light of a star. Through this story, we know your love is destined for all. Guide us in the new ways of your Son. Let your light shine everywhere, that all people may praise you in their own way, and enrich your Church with their own gifts. Amen.
