--Antiphon
When John, in prison, heard of the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples with this question: Are you the One whose coming was foretold, or should we look for another?
--1 Thessalonians 3:12-13
May the Lord make you overflow and abound with love for one another and for all, just as we have for you, so as to strengthen your hearts, to be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.
--Reflection
Rejoice, He is coming! Emmanuel; The Lord is close. As I pray to God, how do I know that the Lord is close to me this day?
--Intercessions
Son of the Most High, your coming was announced to the Virgin Mary by Gabriel, come and rule over your people for ever.
Come stay with me, Lord
Holy one of God, in your presence John the Baptist leapt in Elizabeth's womb, bring the joy of salvation to all the earth.
Come stay with me, Lord
Jesus, the Savior, the angel revealed your name to Joseph the just man, come and save me from my sins.
Come stay with me, Lord
Light of the world, for whom Simeon and all the just waited, come and comfort me.
Come stay with me, Lord
O Rising Sun that never sets, Zechariah foretold that you would visit us from above, come and shine on all who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
Come stay with me, Lord
Our Father…..
