Lord Jesus - you call us to justice.
Christ Jesus - you bring us light.
Lord Jesus - you bring us hope.
Priest: As we journey through the first week of Advent, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. We pray that all followers of Jesus might welcome one another as brothers and sisters, as we prepare to celebrate the Lord’s coming at Christmastime as our Prince of Peace.
2. That all of God’s children throughout the world might choose peaceful ways to solve their disagreements and differences.
3. For all people who suffer without hope. That they might find hearts and hands reaching out to them with love and encouragement.
4. We pray for our first responders, the men and women in the military, our veterans, and our medical professionals. With gratitude and thanksgiving.
5. For our parish community, that we will grow together in faith, hope and in Christ’s love during this Advent season.
6. For all missionaries and evangelizers who bring the Gospel message to the world.
7. For our children, youth, and college students. That the Lord will lead them and guide them on their journey of faith this Advent season.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With hearts full of Advent joy, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
