“As we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior…”
(Part of an ancient prayer inserted into the Lord’s Prayer right before the doxology at Mass.)
Dear Jesus, you are our hope in our messy world. This Advent, help us slow down, listen to your voice, and focus on what is really important. We place our hope in you as we prepare our hearts to celebrate your birth on Christmas. Amen.
