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 light.
To you we say,
Come Lord Jesus...
Amen.
—Henri Nouwen
