ADVENT- 2018

A Prayer for Advent

Look on us, Jesus, and let all the darkness of our souls disappear before the beams of your brightness.
Fill us with your holy love,
and open to us,
the treasures of your wisdom.
You know all our desire,
so bring to perfection
what you have started,
and what the Holy Spirit
has wakened us to ask in prayer.
We week your face,
Turn your face to us
and show us your glory.
Then our longing will be satisfied
And our peace will be perfect. Amen.

• St Augustine

St. Michael the Archangel
defend us in Battle.
Be our Protection against the wickedness and the snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou O Prince of the Heavenly Host by the Divine Power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits that wander throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

O blessed Joseph, faithful guardian of my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, protector of thy chaste spouse, the virgin Mother of God, I choose thee this day to be my special patron and advocate and I firmly resolve to honor thee all the days of my life. Therefore I humbly beseech thee to receive me as thy client, to instruct me in every doubt, to comfort me in every doubt, to comfort me in every affliction, to obtain for me and for all the knowledge and love of the Heart of Jesus, and finally to defend and protect me at the hour of my death. Amen.
