“Prepare a way for the Lord”
“Prepare a way” cries John the Baptist. In these days of Advent, we are called to prepare for the coming of Jesus. John says we must build a road to allow the Lord to come straight. The road we prepare is a road to our hearts. Here we can offer this loving guest, our Lord, a direct way into our lives.
Below are some phrases taken from today’s readings that we can pray with each day in the week ahead: -
¨ “Put on the beauty of the glory of God for
ever, wrap the cloak of integrity around you”
¨ “Prepare a way for the Lord, make straight a
path. And all will see the salvation of God”.
¨ “God will guide us in joy by the light of his
glory, with his mercy and integrity for escort”.
¨ “What marvels the Lord has worked for us!
Indeed we are glad”.
¨ “Come Lord Jesus”.
