Lord of light and peace, shine on us this day. Forgive us when we lose sight of the wonder of your coming. Forgive the times we succumb to the temptation of sin and lure of anxiety. Calm our spirits. Give us an awareness that this is the season of waiting and of preparation. Pour peace into our lives and help us to be bearers of peace to others. We ask this in Jesus’ holy name, amen.
