I had posted a couple of Advent prayers in these Flocknote reflections this Advent season. The following prayer I adopted from a prayer on the website My Catholic Life. May our prayers be lifted up to the Lord as we continue our journey during Advent and as we get ever closer to the birth of our Savior. Blessings - Father Lincoln.
Let us pray:
Lord Jesus, we love you and we thank you with profound gratitude for uniting yourself with humanity. You first entered into this world through the immaculate womb of your Blessed Mother. She brought you into the world, body and blood, soul and divinity. She carried you in her heart in her perfect love for you and in her perfect obedience to the will of the Father.
Precious Lord Jesus, as we enter these last days of the Advent season, please continue to open our eyes to see the great value and blessing of your incarnation. Help us to discover your presence in the world and in our own souls. May we desire to see, understand, and experience the profound effects that your incarnation has on our lives. May we desire to receive those effects more fully during the Advent and Christmas seasons. May each human being become a sanctuary in which you dwell, so that we may bring your presence into the world just as our Blessing Mother Mary brought you into the world.
Loving Jesus, may you always be our king and our God. In obedience, may we abandon ourselves to you. May we seek to put our trust in your tender care. May you draw us closer to you and free us from our sins, so that we may love you with our pure and holy hearts.
Mother Mary, as you carried your dear son into our world, you also carried him in your heart. Pray for us during these seasons of Advent and Christmas, that we may surrender ourselves to the Father’s will in imitation of you. You said “yes” to all that God asked of you. You never hesitated to fully embrace his will. May we imitate your perfect example so that we may share a deeper union with you and your divine son. Come, Lord Jesus, come. AMEN.
