First Sunday of Advent
Theme: We are called to wait.  Wait for what and for whom is to come.  However, the second reading lets us know that God is always with us, guiding us to do the work of God in our time and space.  What we need to do is be watchful so we can see and know that God is with us – from the beginning to the end.  We need to be watchful, to know that we wait for the coming of Christ, and to be ready, not sleeping, when Christ comes in the morning, in the evening, or at any time.  Wait, watch, and then welcome this God who is always with us.

Sunday Prayer

Holy One, we come together this afternoon to continue our  
Sunday celebrations, to give thanks for the mystery  
of your Spirit present among us.  We are called to wait, to be alert, to watch.  Wait, watch, and then welcome this God who is always with us. ​

Intercessions

As the church begins a new liturgical year, let us give voice 
 to our prayers and petitions. 

 
May we be watchful and alert to all the ways God works with us and within us. We pray . . . Lord hear our Prayer.
 
May nations come to realize that it is only through working together and negotiations, that peace will come between nations and peoples.  We pray . . . Lord hear our Prayer.
 
May those who have nothing, are poor and needy, be helped by those who have.  We pray . . . Lord hear our Prayer.
 
May we at St. Charles be aware of and help those in our parish who are lonely, infirm or housebound. We pray . . . Lord hear our Prayer.
 
May we use Advent to take time every day for prayer and reflection.  We pray . . . Lord hear our Prayer.
 
Watchful God, you reveal the ways of love and mercy to all of creation through Jesus your Son.  Receive our prayers that we might follow Jesus into the peace of everlasting life with you.  We pray this through Christ, our coming Lord.  Amen. ​

Act of Spiritual Communion

Bulletin
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.
