Here’s
an Advent prayer from Fr. Henri Nouwen.
Advent Prayer
Lord
Jesus,
Master
of both the light and the darkness,
send
your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.
We
who have so much to do
seek
quiet spaces to hear your voice each day.
We
who are anxious over many things
look
forward to your coming among us.
We
who are blessed in so many ways
long
for the complete joy of your kingdom.
We
whose hearts are heavy
seek
the joy of your presence.
We
are your people,
walking
in darkness, yet seeking the light.
To
you we say, “Come Lord Jesus!”
