Prayer for Advent
Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, ever faithful to your
promises and ever close to
your Church: the earth
rejoices in hope of the
Savior's coming and looks
forward with longing to his
return at the end of time.
Prepare our hearts and remove
the sadness that hinders us
from feeling the joy and hope
which his presence will
bestow, for he is Lord
for ever and ever.
Amen.
