The Feast of Epiphany
Blessed are You, O lord our God,
for you guide our footsteps.
You bless our coming in and
going out,
from birth to death, you hold
us in your care.
Bless this door, O Lord,
which we consecrate to this
time of preparation.
Each day we pass this place,
draw us more deeply into your
presence
and the wonders of your love
for us.
You are the door to the Kingdom
of God,
the sheep gate to life eternal,
O portal of eternal peace, our
new and living way,
lose our sins and open for us
the door of salvation.
O God, protect our going out
and our coming in;
let us share the hospitality
of this home with all who visit us.
May the poor find rest within
these walls
and all who hunger find refreshment
in our home.
Lead us home through YOU, to
YOU, and with YOU,
One God, forever and ever.
Amen.
