“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
God of Faithfulness
grant us your peace.
God of the Poor
grant us your peace.
God of the Displaced
grant us your peace.
God of the Mistreated
grant us your peace.
God of the Diseased
grant us your peace.
God of Hope
grant us your peace.
Eternal Creator, grant us your peace.
We feel your Presence at this moment of waiting, trusting, and birthing.
May your peace be born again in us and throughout our suffering world this Advent season. Amen.
