Lord Jesus - you call us to justice.
Christ Jesus - you bring us light.
Lord Jesus - you bring us hope.
As we journey through these first days of the Advent season, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father in confidence and hope:
1. We pray for the Church: That all followers of Jesus might welcome one another as brothers and sisters, as we prepare to celebrate the Lord’s coming as our Prince of Peace.
2. We pray for the world: That all of God’s children might choose peaceful ways to solve their disagreements and differences, wherever they may be.
3. We pray for all people who suffer without hope in our world today: That they might find hearts and hands reaching out to them with love and encouragement in their struggles.
4. We pray for all who are hungry for food, friendship or a home in our world: That God might provide for their needs through the generosity of all his children.
5. We pray for our Catholic community: That we might grow together in faith, hope and in Christ’s love during this season of holy waiting.
6. For our children and youth: That God will take care of their needs and fill their hearts with Christ’s gentleness, kindness and mercy in this Advent season.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
With hearts full of Advent joy, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
