Blog Post 12/10/2022 Advent Sojourn Darkness & Light

“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 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 Nouwen]

“My heart is ready, O God,
my heart is ready.
I will sing, I will sing your praise.
Awake, my soul,
awake, lyre and harp, I will awake the dawn.” [Psalm 57]

 

Christ is our dawn, Christ is our Light, “Come, Lord Jesus.”

 

Advent Prayer: "Lord, may we praise You with our words, share You with our actions, and embrace You with our hearts & souls.  Give us the grace to look forward to Your return & be ready for it."

 

May God Be Praised.
