Penitential rite - Priest -
Lord Jesus - you call us to be faithful. Christ Jesus - you come to be born in our hearts.
Lord Jesus - you proclaim justice.
Priest: On this last Sunday of Advent, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father with hope and trust:
1. That the hearts of all of us Christians be filled with joy as we recognize God-with-us in the people and experiences of life. We pray to the Lord.
2. That we, like Mary, may believe that God is always with us. May we place our trust and hope in God in all the challenges and obstacles we face. We pray to the Lord.
3. That we may be grateful for all the gifts and opportunities that God offers us and that we may rejoice in the blessings which come to us each day. We pray to the Lord.
4. We pray for our families and our children, especially during this holiday season. May they feel our love and prayers. We pray to the Lord.
5. For those who are sick in body, mind, or spirit. For those battling addictions. For those coping with anxiety, depression, and mental illness. For comfort, healing, and wholeness. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: With Advent joy, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
