• that the light of Christ would shine in our community, so that our friends and neighbours may know with us the joy of new life

• that the light of Christ would shine into the darkness of despair, to lift up all who are grieving, lonely, suffering, or without hope

• that the light of Christ would shine into the darkness of human hearts, wherever deeds of greed, oppression and injustice are being planned

• that the light of Christ would shine in the darkness of the tomb, and that all who have died in Christ may rise to life again
