Third Sunday of Advent -Gaudete Sunday

 


Work through me today God, so that I may be a channel of your Light in the world. Help me to have faith in you, Jesus, so that I can bring your mercy and love to those in need. Help keep my eyes fixed on you.                                            Congregation of St. Joseph blog          

Come, Lord Jesus, Come.


Second Sunday of Advent

 


·        God of hope,
you raised up John the baptizer
as a herald who calls us to conversion.
As we joyfully await the glorious coming of Christ,
we pray to you for the needs of the church and the world.
Hear our humble prayer
that we may serve you in holiness and faith
and give voice to your presence among us
until the day of the coming of your Son, Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.


Advent Prayer


 Lord Jesus,

Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.

We who have so much to do and seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day,

We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.

We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom.

We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.

We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.

To you we say, "Come Lord Jesus!'

Amen.

- Henri J.M. Nouwen
