Prayer for the Week: As we pause between Thanksgiving and Advent, we acknowledge a growing gratitude that anticipates the gift of the Christ Child. Holy God, O Wonderful Counselor, we give you thanks for this time of the year. In ever-so-small ways, peace and hope appear to be more resilient and pervasive. When we pause and pay attention, you seem to be made real in places we least expected. Everlasting Father, you evoke within us a gratitude that seeks to gift others with a reason to be grateful as well. We do not wish to get too far ahead of ourselves or to be caught in the chaos that clouds our capacity to see the destination, a manger with a child. Clear our minds, open our eyes, and make us available to you and all the gifts you seek to give this world. With gratitude and hope, we offer this prayer. Amen.
