FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!

Happy Advent!  May this be a special time of prayer and peace for you, your families and our nation.

Lord Jesus, Master of both light and darkness,

send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.

We who have so much to do, seek quiet to hear your voice each day.

We who are blessed in so many ways, long for the complete joy of your Kingdom.

We whose hearts are heavy, seek the joy of your presence.

We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.

To you, we say, "Come Lord Jesus."

(Father Henri Nouwen)
