Hope Of The World

Hope of the world unfailing, we start off this Advent journey proclaiming that your love in the Christ Child brought hope for all your children.  Bless us as we try to witness to that faith we have.  May our lives bear  that testimony and not our words only.  There are so many of our sisters and brothers who have lost their way and now live in desperation and hopelessness.  May we bring your hope to them as we befriend them in Jesus' name.  We acknowledge that if it weren't for your Lord Jesus, we, too, would live in hopelessness.  Makes us bearers of Good News bringing hope and joy to this world.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.
