Prayer of Confession
We celebrate the
coming of the Light of the world; we have prayed for that light to enter our
lives and our world. Yet we confess that there have been times when we have
buried the light for others through insensitivity and prejudice, through the
use of careless and hurtful words or selfish and destructive actions. (silent confession) Come Lord Jesus, be light for our
darkness and empower us with Your Spirit to be faithful bearers of Your light into all the shadowy and clouded areas of
people's lives. Amen.
