pray

O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the Peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.(source)

O Lord, may your name endure forever and your fame continue as long as the sun; may the people of every nation be blessed in you, and may they pronounce you blessed.  Amen.
