December Prayer Theme
Remembering our future
During 2008, we have celebrated the 175th anniversary of the archdiocese. In this Advent season, we reflect on the end times and begin a new Church year; with this in mind, December seems an appropriate time for us to also look to the past with gratitude and to the future with hope and confidence. We stand on the shoulders of great clergy, religious, and lay faithful and we trust that others will build on the foundation that we are developing at this very time. It is all God's work!
Heavenly Father, during this season of Advent, as we prepare for the coming of your Son in glory, help us to be more aware of His abiding presence among us in the gifts and needs of our Church.
As we recall the coming of Christ your Son in history, strengthen our confidence that He is present even now among us in mystery and the He will come again in glory.
We thank you for the heritage of our 175 years and pray that under the inspiration of your grace we may build up the Body of Christ Your Son who is Lord and lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever, Amen.
