PRAYER FOR THE THIRD
SUNDAY OF ADVENT
John the Baptist the messenger from God, prepares us for Jesus’ coming
Thank you, Father, for every messenger of yours who stands unbowed in the godless spirit of our age. Thank you for those who stand up for Justice and Truth before their own rights and freedom. May their example inspire us to the same faithfulness to Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
