Prayers to share as we come into this last week of Advent:
O God, who gladden us year by year as we wait in hope for our redemption, grant that, just as we joyfully welcome your Only Begotten Son as our Redeemer, we may also merit to face him confidently when he comes again as our Judge. Amen
Jesus, You are the light of the world which the darkness can never over power. Shine brightly through us today and always so we can bring hope to our world today. Father in heaven, guide us to Your perfect light, Your son Jesus Christ. Amen
O God, who wonderfully created the dignity of human nature and still more wonderfully restored it, grant, we pray, that we may share in the divinity of Christ, who humbled himself to share in our humanity. Amen
