What is Advent?
- a time of preparation for the Solemnities of Christmas, the 1st coming of Christ!
- a time of preparation for the 2nd coming of Christ @ the end of time!
- a time of remembering Christ’s presence with us now; in SACRAMENT & in WORD!
That is why we HOPE & that is why we WAIT!
May God Be Praised!
Advent Prayer
Lord, my God, I praise you with my voice, and with my actions. I give You my heart today, grant me the courage to give it to You every day. My life is a gift from You, to You I offer my thoughts and deeds. Lord, my God, Grant me the Courage to Listen to You voice and follow You.
COVID PANDEMIC PRAYER
You are my refuge and my hope, I turn to You during this COVID 19 Pandemic and plead for Your intercession. In Your mercy and Your compassion “… grant eternal rest to the dead, comfort to mourners, healing to the sick ….” strength to the first responders, compassion and endurance to the medical personnel, and wisdom to government leaders. End this coronavirus scourge. Send Your light to guide me as I wander in the darkness of this pandemic and give me the solace of Your eternal love today. Amen. [Psalm 143 and Collect from Mass Time in Pandemic Adopted by Dcn. George Kelly]
