Cycle of Prayer: Intentions for Advent and Christmas Time
The Season of Advent has a two-fold character, for it is a time of preparation for Solemnities of Christmas, in which the First Coming of the Son of God to humanity is remembered, and likewise a time when, by remembrance of this, minds and hearts are led to look forward to Christ’s second coming at the end of time. For these two reasons, Advent is a period of devout and expectant delight.
Openness to the Word of God: especially on Bible Sunday, the Second Sunday of Advent
Migrants & Refugees: especially Migrants’ Day 3rd December
Expectant mothers: especially on Fourth Sunday of Advent
