December 5
Let us pray:
Loving Father,
we ask you
to show us how to level
any ‘mountains’ we might have
of feeling ‘superior’
or ‘better’ than others,
or of making judgements
about people.
Raise us from any ‘valleys’
of despair
or a poor self-image
or a sense of worthlessness.
Lift us up
from whatever kind of poverty
may affect our lives.
Lift us up, we pray,
from anything that makes us
less than fully human.
Raise us from sinfulness,
and lead us to prepare a straight path
for the coming anew into our lives
of Jesus, your Son.
Amen.
