Third Sunday of Advent
Dear friends wishing you all a Happy, Holy and Peaceful Christmas and many Blessings in 2022.
I am taking a break for a few week and hope to be back online on the 9thJanuary 2022 but still feel free to let me know if there are any urgent prayer intentions in the meantime.
Gospel – Lk 1:39-45
Mary set out
and travelled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”
Picture
Picture of Throngs of Angels Gathering around Our Blessed Mother and St Joseph, They are Singing in Such Sweet Unison, Our Blessed Lord is Shortly to be Born into The World.
The Bareness of the Dwelling is made Beautiful by The Light from The Angels! They are Singing “Come Holy One, Blessed Babe to Be Born, Saviour of the World! Come so We Can Adore, Who Will Protect and Love You More, Your Own Will Crown You and With Mary Adore, Blessed Babe That Joseph in The Manger Lay, God the Father be Praised!”
Intercessions
O Lord hear our prayers, when we call answer us..
Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by the message of an Angel,
may by his Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of his Resurrection.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen

O blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England thy "Dowry" and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee. By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more. Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the supreme Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with thee, in our heavenly home.
Amen.
