Lord Jesus - you are the Son of the Most High.
Christ Jesus - you bring us God’s wisdom.
Lord Jesus - your kingdom is without end.
Priest: With Advent joy and hope, in these days of waiting and preparation, we present our prayers to you today:
1. We pray for our children, youth and their families, that the Lord may accompany them always on their journey through life.
2. For the Gospel of Life, that we will work to protect human life, especially the unborn and the vulnerable.
3. As we look forward to the joys of Christmas, may our hearts be with those families who in the last year have lost loved ones. We pray for the repose of their souls.
4. In this season of preparation for Christmas, we pray that we may be conscious of those who are in financial distress and that we may, in the true Christian spirit, share with them what we ourselves are blessed to have.
5. We pray for love and reconciliation in our community, particularly in families, that we make a special effort to reach out to those who are lonely or in need. 6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: Generous God, as we prepare for the brith of our savior, we thank you for our many blessings. Continue to look with favor on us as we present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
