Prayers during the Advent Season
Advent Prayer - Week 1 (Hope) (30/11/25)
Lord, fill our hearts with your love, and as you revealed to us by an angel the coming of your Son as man, so lead us through his suffering and death to the glory of his resurrection, for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Advent Prayer - Week 2 (Peace) (07/12/25)
Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me a hunger for peace: peace in the world, peace in my home, peace in myself. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, whose advent I hail. Amen.
Advent Prayer - Week 3 (Joy) (14/12/25)
Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me the joy and love and peace it is right to bring to the manger of my Lord. Raise in me, too, sober reverence for the God who acted there, hearty gratitude for the life begun there, and spirited resolution to serve the Father and Son.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, whose advent I hail. Amen.
Advent Prayer - Week 4 (Love) (14/12/25)
Father in heaven, our hearts desire the warmth of your love and our minds are searching for the light of your Word. Increase our longing for Christ our Saviour and give us the strength to grow in love, that the dawn of his coming may find us rejoicing in his presence and welcoming the light of his truth. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
