An Advent Prayer

Praise to You,
Lord God of all Creation!
Praise to You
Jesus our Brother!
Praise to You,
Holy Spirit, our Counselor and our Guide!

The veil lifts as we approach the end of Advent.
Jesus, our Savior and God,
born of Mary,
in a stable,
the Light of Heaven
born into cold and poverty.
One with us,
Our Savior King.
Unrecognized,
Rejected,
but Loved with the Love only a mother can give
and a father chosen for Him.
Angels sang when You were born.
King of Angels,
no one heard but you and the humble shepherds watching their sheep in the dark night
Cold, but protective of their flocks
they left their precious sheep to find You, trusting that God would take care of them.
No one of any authority knew or believed
except for the one who wanted to kill You.
Even as a baby You reigned as a King.
The shepherds found You in your cradle of straw and wood.
They saw Your Mother holding You while Your fathers kept guard.
Sweet Jesus!
You life began in suffering, always for love us!
Jesus, Jesus, our Loving God!
Jesus, Jesus, Son of the Father,
Born of Mary,
Protected and Raised by Joseph!
Peace of Heaven!
Light in a Darkened World.!
Come, Come!
Be with us we pray.
Touch our hearts that we may learn to love You as your parents loved You.
Touch our hearts so that our hearts may beat as one with Your Most Sacred Heart.
Jesus!
Fill us with Your Love.
We can ask for nothing more!
Jesus!  Lord!  God!
King of all Creation!
A babe held in Your Mother's arms.
God Man.
Miracle of the Father.
Conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Your love is unending!
Glory to God in the highest!
Glory! Glory! Glory!
Praise! Praise! Praise!
Peace.
Love is on earth.
