Reflection 

O God, our Creator, 

You are our hope and light. 

We are your people, a people of hope. 

Bless us, O Lord, and send your Spirit upon us. 

It is through our love and caring, that you give us hope, and we bring light to each other. 

Help us, O Lord, to keep our hope centred on you and may we bring light to each other. 

May your love inspire us, and your light sustain us. 

May a future full of hope bring us closer to you. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord. 

Amen
