Lord Jesus - you are the son of Mary.
Christ Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.
Lord Jesus - you are the prince of peace.
As these last few days of our Advent journey, we present our prayers to our God of mercy:
1. For our Church leaders: that God may give them wisdom and courage as they help the Catholic faithful prepare for the coming of the Lord.
2. For reconciliation within families and our communities: that in our celebrations of God being with us, we may forgive past hurts and strive to renew relationships.
3. For all who will be traveling during the holidays: that their journeys may be safe and their visits with friends and loved ones be renewing and refreshing.
4. For all who are burdened by poverty and for those who seek to assist them: that God will open new ways to meet their needs and bring them hope and courage.
5. For peace: that the coming of the Prince of Peace may bring healing and safety to those impacted by domestic violence, civil disturbance, and warfare.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
With Advent faith and hope, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
