We thank You, Lord, for re-igniting the flame of hope within us,
for filling our hearts with light and evicting the darkness,
and for giving a new vision of Your glory. Amen.
Go now, as light-bearers to a world in darkness,
Go now, as hope-carriers to a world in despair;
We go in the name of Christ,
in the love of God
and in the power of the Spirit.
Amen.
