THIRD SUNDAY IN ADVENT

PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING !

In a world where nature and our environment
are threatened, let us make our Christmas
tree and manger scene reminders of the
beauty and sacredness of nature. How
closely at his coming did Jesus bind himself
to the animals of the field, as well as to the
earth and the open sky!

Scripture:

Zephaniah 3:14-20

Isaiah 12:2-6

Philippians 4:4-7

Luke 3:7-18

Prayer:

Adult:
O Jesus Christ,
Key of David,
come and set your people free.
Open the gates of heaven for us;
come, deliver us from evil.

Child:
King David was a mighty king
who built a city long ago.
He left a key
that Jesus found in the manger hay.
Key of David, Jesus Christ,
open heaven's gates for us.
