THE BLESSING
May Christ dwell in our hearts by faith. Amen.
Epiphany
READING
Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have
hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to
infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed
over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one
knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal
him. Matthew 11.25-27
THE RESPONSE
Let us keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace,
For there is one body and one Spirit,
one hope of our calling.
There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
One God and Father of all.
Grace was given to each of us
According to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Christ gave some to be apostles, some prophets,
evangelists, pastors and teachers,
For building up the body of Christ.
Until we all attain to the unity of the faith,
To the knowledge of the Son of God.
No longer shall we be children, but fully mature,
Measured by the stature of the fullness of Christ.
THE COLLECT
O God, by the leading of a star
you revealed your Son Jesus Christ to the gentiles;
grant that your Church may be a light to the nations,
so that the whole world may come to see
the splendour of your glory
through Jesus Christ our Lord. . .
THE BLESSING
May we be Christ’s light to the world. Amen.
