Collect
God, the Source of all Light, you have called us to be your disciples, to be different and to be a light in this world. Grant us the courage to be the channel of love and light. Renew our minds and transform us to be more like your Son, Jesus Christ. May we live out our faith in action and show the world what it truly means to follow you. May our lives be a testament to your transformative power, and we may be a source of inspiration for others to seek your truth through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
