Light of the World, we celebrate this Advent with hearts full of longing for your coming
- In the darkness of our world, give us courage to search for truth
- In the darkness of our world, give us humility to acknowledge what keeps us from you
- In the darkness of our world, give us insight to recognise the needs of our neighbours
- In the darkness of our world, give us passion to create a more just society
- In the darkness of our world, help us to bring hope to those who despair
