Litany for Third Sunday in Epiphany, Year C

One: Jesus says God's spirit has anointed him to bring good news to the poor,

All: release to the captives and freedom for the oppressed.

One: but, Jesus also calls us.

All: How can we be a part of this movement begun by Jesus?

One: We pray for open ears, that we might better listen, 

All: to each other and for Jesus' call to us.

One: We pray for open hearts to engage in the passion of Jesus' ministry,

All: and for open minds that we might grow in our understanding.

       Let us join our hearts and ears and minds in worship.

                  From Luke 4:14-21
