Praised be God, the Father. In our Lord Jesus Christ, you have given me every spiritual blessing.
O Light serene of God the Father’s glory, I worship You.
You, O Christ, are the Light. I was just darkness.
In baptism, you shared your light with me, and I became a lamp, carrying your light. My task is to remove my opacity and to let your light illumine the others.
Through the Church, may Christ be born again today in the hearts of my fellow men.
Father, may your Spirit lead me forward out of egoism and solitude.
May he lead me to open the eyes of the blind, to proclaim the Word of light, to reap together the harvest of life.
