Post Communion, First Sunday of Advent (Redub)

O God, our God, help us be patient

as we hunger for your freedom.

Keep us hoping for the joy we cannot see or feel

as we wait for this Christmas

and long for the arrival of your new creation.

While it is still night, sustain our wait for liberty,

so that, as soon as the love of Jesus dawns on us,

we will be ready to receive you. 
Help us be ready too, to bring your love to the world,

both now and forever. Amen.
