Advent 3 (December 16th)

Priest

As the desert and the wasteland found cause for rejoicing, so may this world find renewed vigour in the approaching birthday of Christ. 


Reader

Let us pray for all followers of Christ: may the gifts of faith and hope truly energise us to proclaim God's love to the world. 

Lord, hear us. 


Let us pray for all victims of violence: may our care and concern for them help heal the devastation of their lives. 

Lord, hear us. 


Let us pray for our enemies: may the Lord's healing power help us to overcome pride and prejudice. 

Lord, hear us. 


Let us pray for all who are in prison: may they grow strong in hope for a better and brighter future. 

Lord, hear us. 


We ask our Lady to pray for us. Hail Mary


Priest

O Lord, healer of the oppressed and downtrodden,
hear our prayers and help us.
May your mercy take root in us for the peace and consolation of the world, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
