Advent Prayers | Having Two Legs
Occasionally people have asked what my family does for Advent.
I’ve posted a summary of our weekly tree-decorating antics here.
We’re also doing the Advent wreath/candle custom this year, and I found these simple prayers that I’m using with the kids. These are so short and simple that they are easy for me (or mom) to say a line and the rest of the family just repeats.
Daily Prayers for Lighting the Advent Wreath
|
| First Week
O Emmanuel, Jesus Christ,
desire of every nation,
Savior of all peoples,
come and dwell among us. |
Second Week
O King of all nations, Jesus Christ,
only joy of every heart,
come and save your people. |
|
Third Week
O Key of David, Jesus Christ,
the gates of heaven open at your command,
come and show us the way to salvation. |
Fourth Week
O Wisdom, holy Word of God, Jesus Christ,
all things are in your hands,
come and show us the way to salvation. |
I found these prayers here.
