Advent

Prayer

 
On the mountains,
in the cities,
through the corridors  of power
and streets of despair,
to help, to heal,
to comfort, to convert.
O come, O come Immanuel.

Advent

Reading

 
God said, “I will send my messenger
ahead of you, to clear the way for you.
Someone is shouting in the desert,
“Get the road ready for the Lord;
make a straight path for him to travel!”

                                    Mark 1: 2-3
