Prayers of the faithful - 16 December 2022 - 3rd week in ADVENT

Lord Jesus - you are the son of God. 

Christ Jesus - you are the light of the world. 

Lord Jesus - you are our Savior. 

In the midst of our Advent journey, we present our prayers to the heavenly Father:

1. For the Church: that we may wholeheartedly live out our faith traditions and remain open to the mystery of God's unconventional work in our lives and in the world around us.

2. For openness of heart: that, like Mary and Joseph, we may enter into the mystery of God’s loving actions and be co-operative with the work of God even when we do not understand how to proceed. 

3. For the gift of wisdom: that like Mary, we may perceive the invitation of God in the strange and sometimes unreasonable situations into which God calls us

4. For a deepening of faith: that through the mystery of Jesus becoming human, we may open ourselves to a fuller sharing in the divine life. 

5. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today. 

In this time of waiting and expectation, we present these prayer through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
