ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
December 4, 2023
Prayer for the Week:
One Advent candle has brought new light into the world, and that gift is from you, O God of Hope. Let it shine into those unseen places within us where despair, anguish, or grief silently reside. Speak to us through the stories, music, and symbols, reminding us how you are not yet done with us or this world in which we live. Allow the Good News of the Christ Child’s coming to be for us a message by which hope dwells more deeply within us, nudging out all that is not of you or your dream for our lives. We speak these words to you, O God, in the belief that you know our greatest needs and deepest hurts. Amen.
