Dearest Lord for Whom we wait
in this Advent time,
may we turn our thoughts
each day to understanding
all that Your Incarnation means
for each one of us
and for everyone in our world.
May we look for You in one another
and see signs of Your Presence among us.
May we rejoice in the Mystery
that You have sent Your Holy Spirit
to remind us of all You have taught us.
Then we will experience the deep peace
and profound joy of Your Christmas gifts
all days.
Amen.
