Prayer for the First Sunday of Advent |
My heart longs for Your love, O Lord, and my heart for Your peace and my soul for Your grace. Come into my life again as You came to holy Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem. Help me to prepare a place for You, welcoming and warm, in my family, among my relatives, with my friends and neighbors. Open my eyes to see Your presence in everyone I meet today: among the poor as well as the privileged, the weak as well as the powerful. During this holy season of waiting grant me the patience to keep silent when I should, and the wisdom to speak at the proper time that my words and actions, my thoughts and prayers this Advent might glow as a candle in the growing darkness to lead others back to You. Amen. |
~ Father Joseph R. Veneroso, M.M. |
