Advent: The Season of Hope and Expectation

Lord of Light,

As we await the coming of Christ, we open our hearts to the gifts of this holy season. Fill us with hope, that we may trust in Your promises and eagerly anticipate the joy of Your arrival. Grant us peace, that we might live in harmony with one another and reflect Your calming presence in the world. Instill in us joy, that our hearts may rejoice in Your love and in the blessings of this season. And pour out Your love upon us, that we may share it freely with all people, bringing light to the darkest corners of our world.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
