Second Sunday of Christmas Collect (Redub)

Self-emptying God,
in becoming human and born of a woman,
you have poured on all living things
the light and word of life.
Help us to walk in this light,
dwell in your love,
and follow your words of hope
for all peoples and the whole creation.
May we become joy-filled and joyful
for the sake of your kingdom.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 8.13 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 29.34 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.

My collection of five prayers for the Second Sunday After Christmas are here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
