God of salvation, your light shines forth through the darkness. In faith we pray:

Enlighten us, O God.

Inspire us to see your face emanating through all of creation and in the faces of all whom we encounter.

Enlighten us, O God.

Sensitize us to the needs of our neighbors and young adults.

Enlighten us, O God.

Help us make choices that benefit the well-being of the earth.

Enlighten us, O God.

Our Father . . .

May God console us in our sorrow and gently wipe away every tear from our eyes, through Jesus, the Risen Lord. Amen.
