Prayer Petitions For December 1, 2019 – First Sunday of Advent

To Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, the way, the truth, and the life, let us make our humble prayer:
Come and stay with us, Lord.

Son of the Most High, your coming was announced to the Virgin Mary by Gabriel,
— come and rule over your people for ever.
Come and stay with us, Lord.

Holy One of God, in your presence John the Baptist leapt in Elizabeth’s womb,
— bring the joy of salvation to all the earth.
Come and stay with us, Lord.

Jesus the Savior, the angel revealed your name to Joseph the just man,
— come and save your people from their sins.
Come and stay with us, Lord.

Light of the world, for whom Simeon and all the just waited,
— come and comfort us.
Come and stay with us, Lord.

O Rising Sun that never sets, Zechariah foretold that you would visit us from above,
— come and shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
Come and stay with us, Lord.
