Advent Prayer by Mary Ann Barrett, OP
Come…
Into our world where distress is so pronounced.
Come…
Bring your healing to the wounds of division.
Come…
Embolden us with your sense of and sensitivity for justice.
Come…
Bind our hearts to beat to the rhythm of plowshares.
Come…
Send us to places and peoples without hope.
Come…
Help us enlarge our tables for strangers and guests.
Come…
En-able us to imitate the beauty and wisdom of earth and her creatures.
Come…
Free us to be a voice for life – in song and art,
With words and dreams and actions.
