Second Thursday in Advent

Second Thursday in Advent - Read Isaiah 9:1-6

As we decorate our homes and trees with strings of tiny lights, may we rejoice in their hidden wisdom. May we find hope in these tiny but enchanting lights that transform the common and ordinary into the magical. We often feel so small in the face of the world, for alone we are but one small light. Yet, when we are united in the sacred string of the community of Christ, we become shining and significant signs of the presence of God. Let us, this Advent; join our prayers and good works with all those who yearn for the coming of Christ. By such a linking of hearts and minds we make our world more sacred

PRAYER

O God of hope, you fill us with this food, that
we may be strengthened to do your will. As
you have promised, fill us also with all joy and
peace in believing, that we may abound in
hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let that
hope be shared by all who hunger. Amen
