Here’s a prayer for the forth
Sunday after Epiphany Sunday from the Christian
Aid website. It was adapted from “Invocation to the Christ of the Four
Directions” (South, West, North, East), written by Suzanne Fageol.

Directions
Christ of the East,

Christ of the West,
Christ of the North:
Christ of the South,
Christ of the West,
Christ of the North:
We turn our hearts to you
hoping and praying for
peace and life
to dispel the shadows
of war and death.

to radiate to all.
We turn our lives to you
even if we know only in part
what we will one day know fully
even as we are fully known.
And now may faith hope and love,
love most of all,
abide in us as we journey together through this year. Amen.
