My Advent Prayer

Come Lord Jesus,

come and rest in our hearts

this Advent season.

Bless us and guide us

as we await your birthday.

With great joy and deep gratitude

we look forward to this very special

celebration of Your Birth.

In these days of Advent then,

change us, soften our hearts,

and forgive our sins, that we

might greet You

this Christmas with pure hearts,

hearts ready to forgive,

hearts ready to celebrate.

Come Lord Jesus

come and rest in our hearts

this Advent season and always.

Amen.

"Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, a community in the Whitman/Pennsport sections of the City of Philadelphia, seeks to live in the way, truth and life of Jesus Christ. With the same gratitude born from the faith and courage of Mary our Mother we strive to build community with healing, hope,  tolerance and forgiveness. Through our sacramental, educational and social ministries we seek to deepen our awareness as followers of Jesus; being a people filled with compassion who regard the dying, the poor and those most in need as the sign of Christ among us. We strive to improve the quality of life for all our neighbors regardless of nationality or belief, and we commit to seek out effective ministries to our youth and young adults who are the future of our parish. We pray for the guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit that we may all be counted among the saints when they go marching into paradise."
