Prayers of the faithful Celebrant: Having listened to the message of John the Baptist challenging us to renew our lives and bring them into harmony with the gospel, we now pray to our Heavenly Father. For the Church, that it may always shine as a light in the darkness and be a path for all who seek the Lord in the midst of life...Lord, hear us. For our community gathered here, that this Advent season will be a time of blessing, as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of the Saviour.... Lord, hear us. Let us prepare for Christ’s coming by praying for a spirit of recnciliation between ourselves and those we have offended....Lord, hear us. That the frail, the lonely and the sick may find in those around them the love, support and comfort they need....Lord, hear us. Celebrant: God of peace and joy, with humble hearts we ask you to hear our needs. Help us to know your will for each of us and accept in faith whatever it brings. We make our prayer through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Recently deceased: Helena Treanor, Emyvale Margaret Ward, Rarutra. Packie Carolan, Coolcollid Monsignor Sean Flynn.
