Third Week of Advent (December 16-22)
We move through this week feeling a part of the waiting world that rejoices because our longing has prepared us to believe the reign of God is close at hand. We ask:
Prepare our hearts
and remove the sadness
that hinders us from feeling
the JOY and HOPE
which his presence
will bestow.
A Prayer for Sandy Hook
Loving God, when our heart breaks in grief, we know your heart is already broken. Hear our prayers for the community of Sandy Hook Elementary School. Please soothe the fearful and dry the tears of all who mourn. Bless all those who seek to calm a community in crisis, police, medical workers, government officials, counselors and pastors. Draw us closer to one another in community, and closer to you, Oh God. We lean on you Lord, for comfort and for hope in such terrible situations. We love and adore you. AMEN.
