Fourth Sunday of Advent

Fourth Sunday of Advent

Reflection

“Once again, O LORD of hosts, look down from heaven, and see; take care of this vine, and protect what your right hand has planted.” –Psalm 80:15-16

Prayer

Loving God,

On this final Sunday of Advent, we focus attention on the love you have so generously lavished on us, in sending to us your son, Jesus. Humbly we ask you to continue showering your lovingkindness towards us. Continue to look down from heaven and see us, take care of us, and protect us, especially those who are most vulnerable and suffering through various challenges. May we who extend Jesus’ ministry today open our own eyes and be willing truly to see those most in need of our protection and care. Make us willing to do whatever is necessary to provide these gifts, out of gratitude to you. Amen.

Call to Action

Take five minutes today to reconnect with my calling and mission. As busy as this time of year might be, how am I keeping my eyes open to see and respond to the needs I see around me?
