29 – The First Sunday of Advent
All-powerful God,
increase our strength of will
for doing good
that Christ may find an eager
welcome at his coming
and call us to his side in the
kingdom of heaven,
where he lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Mark 13:31-33
“Heaven
and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
But
about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father.
Beware,
keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come.”
“The celebration of Advent is
only possible to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor
and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
