Advent Prayer
Thanks to Carol of Catholic Community Forum for this prayer. I will pray for you and your husband. I wish you the best to the new chapter of your lives.
We await a King…
…The Lord Jesus Christ,
~Who came as a king in a lowly manger -
~Who comes into our hearts with each outpouring of grace –
~Who will come again to fulfill the glory of the heavenly kingdom!
Let us live in this world,
Awaiting the blessed hope
And coming in glory
of the great God who is pure Love.
Lord God, grace us during this holy season to understand how we are to live in the Kingdom each day. Fill us with the desire and the courage to truly be Christ to every soul we encounter.
With the eyes of the Child of Bethlehem, let us see the world as the blessed creation You stirred up from Your love.
With the heart of a Savior, let us be present to others as Christ is present to us in Word, in Sacrifice and in Spirit.
With the wisdom of a King, let us fill in the valleys and level the mountains to help make a straight path for the King of Glory as we cry out...
O Come, O Come, Immanuel!

Roman Catholic Prayer: Fourth Week of Advent - Sunday Prayer
Opening Prayer:
Let us pray as Advent draws to a close, that Christ will truly come into our hearts.
Lord, fill our hearts with your love, and as you revealed to us by an angel the coming of your Son as man, so lead us through his suffering and death to the glory of his resurrection, for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Closing Prayer:
Oh, God who loves me with such tenderness, I beg you for moments of quiet in this day and in the days ahead.
I long to savor this joy, this anticipation of the great gift you give us.
I ask for the peace and joy of "watchful hope."
Give me the grace to carry in my heart the soul-lifting awareness of Emmanuel - God With Us.
What joy, what a gift.
The Advent song comes to me and fills my heart:
" Emmanuel , Emmanuel.
Who are we that you should love us so well?"
I want to walk in gratitude in these last days of Advent and place myself in the service of your plan for me.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel!
Amen.
