Advent 2 (C)
“Prepare a way for the Lord!” (Luke 3:4)
Priest:
The Lord is coming! Let us ask God for the grace to change our lives so that we may be better prepared to greet him.
Reader:
For all world leaders, governments and their advisers;
that they may be inspired to lead their people wisely and fairly, with understanding and sensitivity. Lord, hear us.
For our own families and loved ones; especially for any from whom we are separated;
that we may learn to see the image Christ in every face, and serve him in caring for one another. Lord, hear us.
For the sick and those who care for them;
May they find hope and strength in Christ. Lord, hear us.
For those who have died,
that when the Lord Jesus comes again, we may be reunited with them in his everlasting Kingdom. Lord, hear us.
Now let us ask Mary to join her prayers to ours as we say. Hail Mary…
Now let us pray in a moment of silence.
Priest:
Heavenly Father, strengthened by this Eucharist, may we become pure and blameless, so that our lives may redound to your glory. Amen.
