As we go through the next few weeks preparing for and getting ready to celebrate at Christmas, I offer you this Advent prayer written by Fr. Henri Nouwen.

Lord Jesus, Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas. 
We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day. 
We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us. 
We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom.  
To you we say, “Come Lord Jesus!”    

God bless and keep you in this holy season,
David+
