Prayer for Reformation Day

God of Life: may your light shine on your people today, as it shone in each moment of history. May the light of your presence inspire this celebration, and inspire our lives, to praise you and recognize you, as source of all creation, as strength that sustains, as sap that nurtures, as wisdom that foresees, as clarity that discovers, as love that understands, as mercy that forgives... May the light of your presence, eternal and extinguishable, shine on us now and forever till the dawn of your Kingdom, present in each day.  Amen.
