During the Season of Advent (3-24 December), the Sisters of Mercy Parramatta Congregation invite you to participate with us in prayer and reflection, joining with the Mercy community globally in praying these intercessions.
Prayer for Week Four: 24 December
God with us, in your coming we are redeemed. We await your birth and we cry out:
- Come and set us free
- In every generation we long for you anew:
- When we doubt ourselves and your love for us:
- When our efforts toward justice are thwarted by our fears:
- When the lure of consumerism masks the meaning of this season:
- When we are able to endure our waiting for you no longer:
