First Sunday of Advent
 
 
“Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming
at an unexpected hour.”  
 
Let us pray.  God of majesty and power, amid the clamor of our violence, your Word of truth resounds; upon a world made dark by sin, the Sun of Justice casts his dawning rays. Keep your household watchful and aware of the time in which we live. Hasten the advent of that day when the sounds of war will be forever stilled, the darkness of evil scattered, and all your children gathered into one. We ask this through him whose coming is certain, whose day draws near: your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever, Amen.
