"O Prince of Peace, prepare the way of our hearts moving us toward your justice."

Advent reminds us that our journey here is a preparation. We spend our whole lives preparing for the moment we will meet our Trinitarian God. May our preparations this Advent include a deepening in our hearts humbled by gratitude for the very gift of life we have been given. May our preparations help to shatter the pains of injustice, loneliness, and despair as we walk with others in the light, hope and compassion of the Prince of Peace.
