2nd Sunday of Advent (Year B)
Priest:
As we wait with hope and anticipation for the coming of our Lord, we ask for peace and mercy for ourselves and the world.
Reader:
For the Church, that during this time of Advent she will help everyone to prepare spiritually for the coming of our Saviour
Lord, hear us.
For nations in crisis, those at war, those suffering political turmoil or economic recession, that all may experience the peace and happiness of the coming season
Lord, hear us.
For those who may find it hard to prepare a way for the Lord in their lives, that they may be given the gifts of knowledge and discernment.
Lord, hear us.
For all who have died, and for those whose anniversaries fall at this time: may they be raised to new and eternal life,
Lord, hear us.
Mary looked forward with joy to the coming of the Christ child, we ask for her help with our prayers as we say - Hail Mary…
Let us pray in silence for our needs and the needs of those we love.
Priest:
Merciful Father, hear our prayers for ourselves and our world and grant that what we ask in faith we may obtain through Jesus Christ your Son, who is Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
