prayers of the faithful - 3rd week of ADVENT - 16 December 2021

Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness. 

Christ Jesus - you help us to prepare for your coming. 

Lord Jesus - you will come again in glory. 

We present our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. For the Church: that we may experience joy through recognizing God’s presence with us each day.  May we be instruments of God’s grace in helping others become aware of God’s work in their lives. 

2. For hope: that we may surrender our anxieties to God and trust in God’s providence for all our needs and challenges.

3. For a renewal of our hearts: that God will stir up the Spirit who is with us so that our faith may increase, that our spirits may grow in courage, and our hearts may overflow with love

4. For conversion of heart: that the Holy Spirit will cleanse us of greed, selfishness, narrowness of mind, and hardness of heart so that we may be people of light.

5. For the grace to accompany one another: that God will free us from judging others and help us to see each person as a sister or brother. 

6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts. 

We present our prayer today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
