God of Sun and Stars,
You bring light to our world.
Your star lights the deep night.
Your face shines like the sun.
As the star guided the magi, guide me with your words and your presence.
As you were transformed on the mountain, change me.
Empower me to brighten the world.
Help me live your surprising love for the struggling and your compassion for the vulnerable.
Open my heart and mind to the whole world.
Teach me to love those who are different from me,
for they are your beloved children, too.
Amen.
