Saint Wendelin Parish Prayer
Almighty God, You are lavish in bestowing all your gifts, and we give you thanks for the
favors you have given to us. In every age, you have called together communities of faith to
worship you, and to serve those most in need. You have summoned the faithful of Saint
Wendelin to be a light that leads others to your Son. Grant the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to
those who lead us in faith. Grant the enthusiasm of that same Spirit to all. Protect us and
shelter us in the shadow of your wings. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

chapter of SVDP at St. Pat's this week. Thanks for your help!

Second Sunday of Advent
Lord Jesus,
Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our
preparations for Christmas.
We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day.
We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.
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!"
