  • For the Church, that during this Advent season, we may joyfully prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ and proclaim His message of hope to the world, we pray
  • For world leaders, that they may work together to establish peace, justice, and respect for the dignity of all people, especially the poor and vulnerable, we pray:
  • For our community, that we may keep watch with joyful hearts, growing in love and charity as we await the coming of our Savior, we pray:
  • For all of us during this Advent season, that we may grow in patience and trust as we wait for the coming of Christ, learning to embrace the moments of stillness and preparation in our daily lives, we pray:
  • For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, including, Della Huber, Sharon Mikula, and Jerry Buscher. May all who suffer be healed by God’s loving touch and by the prayers of this community, we pray:
  • For those who have died, that they may rejoice forever in the presence of the Lord, and for all who mourn, that they may find peace and hope in the promise of Christ’s coming, we pray:

Loving God, hear the prayers we bring before you as we wait in hope for the coming of your Son. Fill our hearts with your light and prepare us to welcome Him with joy. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
