January: The Epiphany of New Beginnings

Lord of Light, as the star guided the Magi, let your Epiphany guide us out of the shadows of isolation. We thank you for the gift of being your beloved children. In this new year, open our eyes to see our neighbors not as strangers or threats, but as reflections of your glory. Break the scales of prejudice from our eyes. May we realize that the same breath you gave us, you gave to the person across the street. Help us start this year by building bridges where walls once stood, revealing your love through our unity. Amen.
