Advent Prayer 23 (Day 336)


O God, Joseph heard your angel in his dream and was called to protect and love Your Son: let us build a home for Christ within our hearts. Give us the trust to say "Yes" to You and step out in faith upon the path You have chosen for us, for You are with us always. 

Guard us from pettiness and selfishness: let us be open, honest, and loving in all our actions. Our spirits are revived by meditating upon your Word: let us fulfill your commandments to love each other today. 

You know the longing of our hearts: draw near to us as we await the light of your Son. Draw us within the fortress of your protection, and lighten the hearts of those for whom we pray today.

Amen.
