You Magi, pray that we might see God
revealed in the cosmos as you did.
You Searchers, pray that we might act on what we see
and move into the unknown full of wonder as you did.
You Questioners, pray that we might pore over
our tradition
seeking to interpret anew what has been
handed down to us,
so that the surprising novelty of God might be revealed.
You Faithful Ones, pray that we might
pursue the star in our lives
as you did until it leads us to
the Christ who is God-with-us.
You Listeners to Angels, pray that we might
resist evil as you did
and not cooperate in the violence and cruelty
that attempt to destroy the life and love of God
present among us.
You Magi, pray for us who seek Christ
in wonder, majesty, and awe as you did.
Amen.
