Prayer for Advent
(based on Mark 13: 33-37)
“He leaves home and places his servants in charge,
and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch….”
Passages steep, mountains craggy;
paths rugged, packed
with potholes,
or sometimes
cool trails with running streams.
Whether tough roads or easy streets,
let us never stop watching
for you, O Lord.
Call to us.
Come to us.
Show your face
in everyone we meet
along the
Way.
