“My soul rejoices in my God”

Father, source of faith and holiness, we thank and praise you. Today is the Third Sunday of Advent. We come to your Church together to adore and worship you with all our hearts and soul. Bless us today with the blessing of an active preparation for the coming of Jesus into our lives. May we hear his voice through the voice of our brothers and sisters crying out for help.

Make us fruitful in good works this coming week. Grant us the grace to discipline our cravings for power and worldly allurements. Make us rather productive in doing your holy will for our salvation and for your great glory.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit, Who Is Love. Amen.

St. Peregrine, pray for us.
