Opening Prayer for Epiphany 3C

We become your people, O God, when you write your law and grace inside of us. We become your people when are living examples of your justice. We become your people when we unite into one body - the body of Christ - to be your eyes and ears witnessing the pain and wonder in the world, your heart and brain dreaming and planning for a new world, and your arms and legs working for your realm in every place in all times. Unite us, O God, with one another and with you, that our lives will be your living word uttered on this earth. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the Word become Flesh. Amen.
