 MORNING PRAYER

Jesus loves each of us so much that even if there were only one of us who needed saving, he would have come to our world to suffer and die on the cross. Jesus sees us in our needs and suffering and wants to bring us joy. During this Advent season, remember that Jesus is the light of the world.   

God of Love,

Thank you for caring for us so much.

As we continue our journey in Advent,

help us ready our hearts for the Christ child.

Grant us an open heart to accept your love

during this special time of the year.

Help us to share this love with each other.

Amen
