I know who you are–the Holy One of God!’ Jesus rebuked him and said, ‘Quiet! Come out of him!’ The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. … [Jesus’] fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.”

All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing came to be. What came to be through Him was Life, and this Life was the Light of the human race; the Light Shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome It. … to those who did accept Him He gave Power to become Children of God, to those who believe in His Name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God. And the Word became flesh and made His Dwelling among us, and we saw His Glory, the Glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of Grace and Truth. …”

CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “Christ Candle of Hope Prayer” – EWTN

Lit Candle with Reflection and Dark Background adapted from image at DOJ.gov

God, our loving Father, You sent Your Son,
Jesus Christ, into this world to counter
all the forces of evil: sin, suffering and death,
and to overcome evil with the force of good;
hatred with the Power of Love,
Your Great Love for us in Jesus.

Help us never to curse the darkness,
but to join with you in bringing
Your Light into this world,
the light that is Your Son,
born of the Virgin Mary, in Bethlehem.
Help us to be instruments of Your Light
and love by doing one special act of kindness
or by being your special instrument
of reconciliation this New Year. …”
