LORD JESUS - You lead us to the light.
CHRIST JESUS - You are the truth.
LORD JESUS - you will come again in glory.
PRIEST: Because we believe God that will come to our help, we present our prayers to our merciful Father:
1. For believers everywhere who wait for the Lord’s coming, that this Advent may help them in their preparations.
2. For all the people who look forward to the celebration of Christmas, that Christ’s words and values may find a place in their hearts.
3. For the nations where there is war, poverty, human suffering, social unrest, and violence, that we may all work together toward unity, healing, and reconciliation.
4. For those who suffer from anxiety, for all who are sick in mind or body or spirit, that they may know the Lord’s healing power.
5. For people trying to rebuild their lives after an experience of abuse or trauma or violence, that they may know the intimate love of God and that they may build trust and confidence in their lives.
6. For all the members of this community who have died, especially our family members and loved ones, that God’s light may shine on them and on all we have lost.
PRIEST: God of hosts, your hand protects your chosen people, listen to our prayers, we ask you, through Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
