“Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.” (A prayer attributed to Francis of Assisi, ELW, p. 87)

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. "O Holy Blessed One, we acknowledge before you that the treatment accorded the Jewish people on the part of Christian believers has been a tragic development in the long history of the Church. This includes the horrors of the Holocaust of the 20th century in places where Lutheran churches were strongly represented. With deep and abiding sorrow, we confess before you and one another, and in the presence of our Jewish neighbors, that we have too often been silent before, or complicit in, the sad contagion of anti-Semitism that continues to this day. O Maker and Keeper of us all, reform our faith and our living to reflect more boldly your endless mercy" (A Litany of Confession based on the "Declaration of the ELCA to the Jewish Community").

We pray for our neighbors…

Let us pray for all who are affected by the devastating wildfires in California, those who suffer or grieve, and those providing emergency response. "O Lord, when fires rage and consume the land, when homes are reduced to embers and ashes, when families are displaced and tomorrow is uncertain, grant us faith to trust that even the dust will live by your breath. For in you, O Lord, is new life. Amen" (Adapted from "ELCA Litany in Time of Wildfires").

Today is Epiphany! 🌟"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you" (Isaiah 60:1).

The feast of Epiphany (“manifestation”) concludes the Christmas season with a celebration of God’s glory revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. Like the light of the star that guided the magi to Jesus, the light of Christ reveals who we are: children of God who are claimed and washed in the waters of baptism. We are sent out to be beacons of the light of Christ, sharing the good news of God’s love to all people.
