Send a Prayer to Bethlehem
Liturgies for the Advent Season
Angel Voices
Just when life seems comfy
and cosily predictable -
angels appear unexpectedly...
æ
At the Turning of the Year
We gather, God of the changing seasons,
as the year turns to deepening darkness...
æ
Celtic
style prayer
Days of heavy clouds stifling the
sunlight
the world burdened by greyness and gloom...
æ
Come, Lord Jesus
We stand at the turning of the year –
looking back on what has
been
and ahead to what is to
come...
æ
The Gift of Light
Jesus walked among His people
among people living in darkness...
æ
Longing for
Light
The nights have drawn in –
long summer evenings are but memory;
winter is upon us –
and darkness surrounds us...
æ
O Antiphons
O Wisdom, O holy Word of God,
Wonderful is your counsel and great is your wisdom...
æ
Passing on the Light
In the beginning, the universe was dark
and cold –
and the Spirit hovered and brooded
and whispered
"Let there be life!"...
æ
Penitential
Liturgy for Advent
We live in a world
oppressed by sin
a world of hunger
– pain – injustice...
æ
Return of the King
In his days justice shall flourish
and peace till the moon fails...
æ
Standing on the Edge
We are standing on the edge:
Our earth – the blue-green jewel we call home
–
stands on the edge of global catastrophe...
æ
This is True...
Is it true, Lord, is it true:
that You, Creator of the Heavens,
condemn Your people to stumble though life
their paths shrouded in darkness?
Is it true, Lord....is it true?
