confessional prayer

The Light comes into the world:
Our eyes, long used to darkness,
Close tight against the bright light.
We turn away and will not see.
The Light comes to reveal the truth.
But we are lost in logic,
and miss the reflections of God's appearance.
We turn away, and will not see.
Forgive us, Light of Life,
when we turn away,
and will not see you in the world around us.
Words of assurance
We are forgiven,
for the Light has come,
and the Glory of God surrounds us.
Thanks be to God Amen
