Tuesday in 3 Epiphany, January 27, 2026
Lord Jesus Christ of the Beatitudes, give us who have power and ability to work to end poverty, mourning, war, persecution, bad motives, hunger, unrighteousness, prejudice, cruel, and unforgiveness, and so make the Beatitudes unnecessary for people to live without oppression. Amen.
Monday in 3 Epiphany, January 26, 2026 (Conversion of St. Paul)
God of the heavenly vision of Christ to St. Paul, we thank you for converting his heart toward the largesse of accepting all into the family of God and so made being a child of God the default catholic reality for each human being to discover. Amen.
Third Sunday after the Epiphany, January 25, 2026
God who has hidden our individual call to self-surpassing excellence within each of us by virtue of the immortal aspect of our inner selves; you have given us Jesus who arose in a particular time in our world to inspire us all to awaken to the always, already goodness of the God spot within us which can rise to our surfaces and direct our actions in love and justice. Amen.
Saturday in 2 Epiphany, January 24, 2026
God, we find ourselves as becomers within your Great Omni-Becoming, sharing a degree of freedom for the ever impending future amid the many events over which we had no control; give us stewardship wisdom in the use of our freedom toward healing outcomes in our world. Amen.
Friday in 2 Epiphany, January 23, 2026
God of the truth of honesty, surely the Christ who is the Light of the World, is the one who is asking us to speak the light of honesty to the powerful in our world who would perpetually lie to promote their power to make their lying the foundation of their authority; give us courage to counter the lies of wrongly wielded power with the honest truth of the power of loving our neighbors as ourselves. Amen.
Thursday in 2 Epiphany, January 22, 2026
God, who has called the church into being through the appearance of a divine Friend, Jesus, who instituted a succession of befriending which has become the various social realities of historical church bodies; make us faithful conduits of this befriending succession as we pass on the love and justice on within our time and places. Amen.
Wednesday in 2 Epiphany, January 21, 2026
God, named by us because we believe that the greatness of you as All can be funneled into partial knowing of you because you are with us in our limited contexts, give us ears to hear your call and test that call as valid as it inspires us in the way of doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly before you. Amen.
Tuesday in 2 Epiphany, January 20, 2026
God, mere fishermen discerned a call beyond their vocations which gave them a spiritual and social mobility far beyond their locations to bring them self-surprise in becoming bearers of good news; give the self-surprise of a sublime call beyond being locked into limited selfish behaviors so that we might bear the best of Christ-like insights to those who need them. Amen.
Monday in 2 Epiphany, January 19, 2026 (Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday)
God of the prophets who are deemed radical for asserting kindness and justice for all as what is normal; give us eyes to see that you who are love require that actual justice must result from anyone who claims to be your lover. Amen.
Second Sunday after the Epiphany, January 18, 2026
Lord Jesus Christ, you came to bear the existing metaphors of sacrifice in the early churches as known in their writings; we ask that sacrifice be not only metaphor of our lives but the practice in dying to our selfish selves so that we may live for each other in the practice of the common good. Amen.
Saturday in 1 Epiphany, January 17, 2026
Jesus Christ, Epiphany of the divine in unique human being; you as a human person did not exhaust all epiphanies, rather you instigate the perpetual availability of further epiphanies within the mostly uncharted inner world of each person; let new epiphanies arise in us with results for love and justice in our world today. Amen.
Friday in 1 Epiphany, January 16, 2026
God, you know that what comprises the interior lives of all people is much more than what is manifest in the public arena; send your Spirit to be so manifest in the interior lives of so many people that the surface manifestations of Christ-like love and justice may become palpably evident in the life of our world. Amen.
Thursday in 1 Epiphany, January 15, 2026
God of manifestation of your identity in language; we thank you for these fantastic interior events which have their credibility verified when we live more like Christ in having the divine manifestation within us morph into words and deeds of love and justice. Amen.
Wednesday in 1 Epiphany, January 14, 2026
Eternal Word of God, everything which becomes public is manifestation of language products but among everything that has been manifest the Christ has become standard of human excellence; give us wisdom to understand the excellence of Christ and to manifest Christ-likeness with our deeds. Amen.
Tuesday in 1 Epiphany, January 13, 2026
Jesus, Word of God, Spirit as a Word Cloud which penetrates the inner word life of humanity and give us a reconstituted internal order of peace, wisdom, and love; baptize us again with continual Word Clouds so that the internal lives of all can be given orientation toward peace, love, and justice. Amen.
Monday in 1 Epiphany, January 12, 2026
Help us O God, to understand the principle of being living sacrifices as checking our egos within community to help us live well together; rid us of ancient notions of you as an angry God needing the death of people and animals as being required for forgiving the imperfections of people who cannot but be so on their path of learning continual self-surpassing in excellence. Give us wisdom to accept grace as prevenient in your Being itself. Amen.
First Sunday after the Epiphany, January 11, 2026 (The Baptism of our Lord)
God of the vital water to our human life; without it particularly and without You as All, we have no particular existence; we thank you for the gift of water as it sustains us, cleanses us, quenches our thirst, and serves as threshold symbol of initiation into the life of being made more Christ like. Amen.
Saturday after the Epiphany, January 10, 2026
Grant O God and Parent of all that the baptized do not see baptism as fire insurance from some post life hell; rather let it be a family of all humanity event under your parentage as we celebrate one initiated into the reality of being a beloved child of God. Amen.
Friday after the Epiphany, January 9, 2026
God, we have received Jesus Christ as the Exemplar that everything within the great Expanding Container of God cannot be separated from that Container; we also understand our error in thinking and acting as if we did not live and move in this large great Container of love and thereby commit deeds which instantiate the "as if" lying state of separation from you. Give us the humility to live the best lives of harmony with you and each other. Amen.
Thursday after the Epiphany, January 8, 2026
God of manifestations in knowable human language; we thank you that the completely foreign plenitude of your vastness is reduced into sublime insights of knowing not because we can exhaust you but we accept that your rays are a visible unity with you being our Sun. Amen.
Wednesday after the Epiphany, January 7, 2026
Give us wisdom O God, to read the stars of our interior skies to be led to the interpretive place within us where we realize that the birth of Christ and realizing the image of God on our lives are the same thing event. Amen.
God who is everywhere but for us needing to be unveiled as the original image of God upon us; we thank you for the Manifestation Event of Jesus Christ who is given to us as a way to know our optimal natures and serve as our optimal Exemplar of how to become fully human. Amen.
