Prayer: Fourth Sunday of Advent

Written by RENEW | Dec 22, 2019 11:00:44 AM

All-powerful God,
Your eternal Word took flesh
when the Virgin Mary placed her life at your service.
Lift our minds and hearts in watchful hope
to hear the voice which announces
the coming of Jesus in glory.
May we be open to the Holy Spirit as Mary was,
that we too may make Christ present to our hurting world.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
