Blessing the Advent Wreath

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
 
As we light this first candle of our Advent Wreath
we praise you, God, for your Son, Jesus Christ: 
he is Emmanuel, the hope of the peoples,
he is the wisdom that teaches and guides us,
he is the Savior of every nation,
he is the one who brings true peace to our world. 
May the light of this wreath remind us that Christ is coming. 
May he come quickly and not delay. 
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Intercessions

We bring to God the longing of our hearts, and our desires for the well-being of all God’s family

For the Church of Jesus Christ throughout the world, for abundant graces in this holy season. We pray . . . O God, hear our prayer.

For civic leaders and public servants, for a heartfelt commitment to the common good. We pray . . . O God, hear our prayer.

For those rebuilding after natural and manmade disasters, for generosity in those who remain unharmed, and for all who share their compassion. We pray . . . O God, hear our prayer.
 
For the lonely, the lost, the poor, and the sick, those listed in our book of prayer and in bulletin; for hope, help, and healing. We pray . . . O God, hear our prayer.

For all who are gathered here, for all who await the Lord’s coming into their lives. We pray . . . O God, hear our prayer.

Gracious God, you illumine the way forward for all creation. Hear our prayers that we might prepare faithfully for the coming of your Son. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, Come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
