Lord Jesus - you come to us in faith and hope.
Christ Jesus - you are the incarnate son of God
Lord Jesus - you will come again in glory
Priest: We look to the Lord in our prayers today as he guides us to justice and as he leads us to repentance:
1. That the Church be on constant watch for the Lord’s return as we prepare for Christ’s birth.
2. That our faith may call us to works of mercy and charity during the Advent season.
3. That our desire for Christ’s return may bring peace to the land of his birth and relieve the violence and war that takes place in the Holy Land and the Middle East.
4. That our governmental leaders may reach out to the poor and the needy.
5. We pray the mentally ill and those struggling with addictions and depression, that they may feel God’s love and mercy reaching out to them.
6. For our sick and shut-ins, for healing for them in body, mind, and spirit.
7. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. 8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.
Priest: Your ways, O Lord, are made known to us through your Son. We ask that you guide us in your truth and teach us in the name of your son, our Savior and Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
