Dear Father in heaven,

Thanks to Jesus the light of the world, we can say with the blind man that we were once blind but now we see. We thank you for opening our eyes to the truth that Jesus is the Son of God, the Son of Man and the Savior that we need.

Help us to hold on tightly to that faith, knowing that in a world full of trials, troubles and temptations, Jesus is our only hope.

And let us serve you with good works, the very kind that you have planned for us, so that we can carry out our mission as lights in this dark and dying world.

In Christ,

Amen
