Here’s a prayer reflection based on the gospel reading for the first
Sunday of Advent (Year C). It was
written by Anne Osdieck.
Prayer Reflection
(based on Luke 21:
25-36)
But when these signs begin to happen,
stand erect and raise your heads. Luke 21:28
We shudder at signs we
see.
Anxieties bombard us.
Our hearts are
afraid.
Lord,
Let us be vigilant,
hold our heads high.
Make us an Advent
people
with hope as our
stronghold.
Jesus,
You once came into our
world with all its sorrows.
Keep us awake and alert
to your presence
in the midst of our
struggles now.
Tell us again that your
love
will triumph.
