First Sunday in Advent
Precious God of the Past, in the deserts and in the mountains your prophets boldly spoke of you, and tried to prepare a way for the coming of our Lord. And so we rejoice, that through that message of hope your people have dwelt in confidence for your coming reign.
God of the Present, even now, at this very moment, you are among us. Although we may have failed to discern your presence with us, and have so often felt deserted and alone, you are still speaking; still raising the call for justice to those who listen.
God of the Future, we await Christ's reign. Be with each of us in this new Advent season; teaching us to live in expectation, to honor your creation and to prepare our hearts and homes, that we may faithfully wait and watch today for your glorious tomorrow.
Amen.
