Advent Sunday (C)
“Your liberation is near at hand” (Luke 21:28)
Priest:
Brothers and sisters, we prepare in this Advent season, for the coming of Our Lord Jesus. So let us earnestly ask his mercy, as we pray for the Church and for the world.
Reader:
For the Church, and all Christians,
that we may be more and more aware of our unique mission in the world,
and so strive to serve mankind by reflecting Christ in all we say and do.
Lord, hear us.
For the peace of the world,
that those in charge of political affairs may always be conscious that true peace is based upon the dignity of each person, whatever the race, colour or creed.
Lord, hear us.
For the sick, the needy, and those who come to their aid,
that the Lord Jesus may heal the sick, rid the world of hunger and protect us from all disasters.
Lord, hear us.
For those who have died,
that when the Lord Jesus comes again, we all may be reunited with him in his everlasting Kingdom.
Lord, hear us.
Let us now ask Our Lady to join her prayers to ours as we say Hail Mary..
Let us pray in silence to the Lord.
Priest:
Father, you gave us your only Son to prepare us for your kingdom.
May our lives be a daily preparation for the day when we see you as you are.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
