Second
Sunday Of Advent
|
An
Advent Prayer
God,
Christmas is coming and I thought that I
should send you a list of things that I
want this year. I’m sending it early,
so that you will have enough time to do
the shopping. I know that I should not confuse
you with Santa Claus; however, I think I
might need some of the following:
1. A place to go to get away from all the
ads.
2. A day of silence to just be with the
mystery of incarnation.
3. A chance to be of service to the poor.
4. A little more time to be with my family
and friends.
5. Some time to meditate on the fact that
Jesus was born poor.
