Here
is an opening prayer for Advent from the Literature
& Liturgy website. It utilizes Isaiah 40:1-11, one of the suggested
scripture texts for Advent 2, Year B.
Call to Worship & Opening Prayer for Advent
(inspired by Isaiah
40:1-11)
Can
you hear?
A voice is heard in the darkness,
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
A voice is heard in the darkness,
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
Make
way! Level the valleys! Straighten the paths!
Prepare the way for his coming:
The coming of the Lord!
Prepare the way for his coming:
The coming of the Lord!
God,
your servant cries out to us:
Repent; turn and be restored.
Repent; turn and be restored.
Can
you hear?
God,
open the ears of our souls
to hear your word of salvation.
to hear your word of salvation.
God,
on the second Sunday of Advent,
Open wide our hearts and our minds
To see, feel, hear, and know the salvation of our God.
Amen.
Open wide our hearts and our minds
To see, feel, hear, and know the salvation of our God.
Amen.
