Dhikr for the 2nd week of Advent (C)

Text: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The winding roads shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God." (Luke 3: 5-6)

Meditation: What are the “valley”, “hill”, “winding roads” and “rough ways” in our lives? We need to do something about them… to see the salvation of God!

Prayer for the 2nd week of Advent

O God whose will is justice for the poor and peace for the afflicted,

let your herald’s urgent voice pierce our hardened hearts

and announce the dawn of your kingdom.

Before the advent of the one who baptizes with the fire of the Holy Spirit,

let our complacency give way to conversion,

oppression to justice and conflict to acceptance of one another in Christ.

We ask this through him whose coming is certain,

whose day draws near; Your son, our Lord Jesus Christ,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
