    Dear Friends,

    We are quickly coming to Christmas and the New Year. Offered here are prayers for the Advent Season. May God bless you and your family as we reflect on the coming of Jesus Christ. Everyone's reflections and prayers for the season are welcomed!

    First Sunday of Advent

    "Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the
    works of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light, now
    in the time of this mortal life in which thy Son Jesus Christ
    came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when
    he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the
    quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through
    him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost,
    one God, now and for ever. Amen." BCP

    Second Sunday of Advent

    Merciful God, who sent thy messengers the prophets to
    preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation:
    Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins,
    that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our
    Redeemer; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy
    Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
    Lord, I pray that you will grant us all a peaceful, reflective Advent season. May our Lord Jesus Christ be ever in our hearts.

    Third Sunday in Advent
    Stir up thy power, O Lord, and with great might come
    among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins,
    let thy bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver
    us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and
    the Holy Ghost, be honor and glory, world without end.
    Amen.

    Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you will continue to make yourself known to us and to all the world each and every day. We remember persecuted Christians all over the world who may suffer in this season. We pray that you might give them strength and grace in this time.

    Fourth Sunday of Advent

    We beseech thee, Almighty God, to purify our consciences by
    thy daily visitation, that when thy Son Jesus Christ cometh he
    may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; through the
    same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with
    thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for
    ever. Amen.

    The Nativity of Our Lord: Christmas Day December 25

    Almighty God, who hast given us thy only-begotten Son to
    take our nature upon him, and as at this time to be born of a
    pure virgin: Grant that we, being regenerate and made thy
    children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by thy
    Holy Spirit; through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who
    liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Spirit ever, one
    God, world without end. Amen.
