DECEMBER
ADVENT FAMILY PRAYER
FIRST FRIDAY of the Month
December 6th
The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed all
day in Church with adoration at 7:30pm.
Come and spend some time with Jesus.
Lord, help us to prepare our hearts
for the coming of your son Jesus.
Help us to focus on your light
during this holy season.
Draw our family closer together as we move
through Advent toward the feast of your Son’s
birth.
Each week we light a new candle
on our Advent Wreath.
We place our HOPE in you.
We pray for PEACE in our hearts,
our homes and in the world.
We wait with JOY for your coming
anew into our hearts.
And we thank you for your
everlasting LOVE this Christmas.
The evergreens on the wreath remind us
that your life in us never dies.
Its circular shape shows us your love
has no beginning or end.
The light from its candles will grow brighter
each week as Christmas draws near.
Draw our family closer to you in holiness as we
reflect in wonder and awe on the birth of your Son
in a lowly manger in Bethlehem.
And may your Spirit grow in us,
dispelling the darkness and sin of the world.
We ask all this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
