Gracious God,
Send us your grace this Advent Season,
so that we can prepare for your coming.
Touch our hearts with longing,
so that we can better love and serve you and each other.

Fill us with hope that we can be transformed by your Spirit,
and so help transform the world.
Give us the peace of knowing that you came to share,
our human life and redeem us for the sake of love.

We ask these things in the name of Jesus,
whose kingdom we seek. Amen.
