Praise and glory to You,
God our loving Father
for this gift of Advent Season:
thank you in bringing us
to this brand new day
of salvation, of freedom,
of new life in Jesus;
most of all,
thank you for ending death
in Christ's advent.
On this mountain he will destroy he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web that is woven over all nations; he will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces… (Isaiah 25:7-8).
Come to us this Advent,
dear Jesus and take away
all kinds of veils of selfishness
that cover and make us
unloving,
unkind, unmerciful,
unhappy...
set us free, Jesus,
free to love and serve
especially the sick and hungry;
set us free, Jesus,
this Advent to open our hearts
to bring out those treasures
You have filled us with like
goodwill and care for others
like the disciples in today's gospel.
Amen.
