Epiphany Prayer

(May be spoken in unison or prayed responsively)

God with us,
God revealed in us,
God come to us, Emmanuel:
Long hidden within our heart's barren womb;
Too often explained away by our mind's idol of reason;
and so many moments kept captive in our soul's chains of doubt.
Show forth among us,
Bread of Life!
Be manifest here this day,
Cup of Salvation!
Great God of the Epiphany,
this day reveal your salvation
to the poor who hunger for your nourishment,
to the seekers who travel across deserts for your drink,
to us gathered here, who desire you.
Great God of the Epiphany,
this day reveal your salvation
Through the one who saves us, Jesus Christ, Amen.
