Meditation 

Daddy by Timmy

The Lord of Advent tells us to be watchful for his coming, keeping our lamps lighted, and our hearts clean. Therefore let us confess to the Lord.

Silence for reflection.

What is the Sculptor forming in you? 

How can you yield to the time 

and pressure that formation requires? 

Do you allow the shaving, the 

pruning, or do you balk? 

What vision has the Lord given of the final, 

polished, light-bearing result?

Prayer for others 

Benediction
God and Father of all:

We prepare our hearts for the coming of your Son, 

confessing our sins, 

confessing our attraction 

to a godless world 

that does not know Christ.  

Forgive our sins, cleanse our hearts, 

and keep us faithful 

for the promised coming of your Son, 

Jesus Christ our Lord.  

God sent his Son, the Babe of Bethlehem, 

to show his infinite love and forgiveness for all. 

Your sins are forgiven in the holy name of  

Christ who came and will come again.

Amen.
