Prayers of the People—Advent 4B
Sisters and brothers, the Lord is with you! Let us pray to the Almighty saying, “My soul proclaims your greatness, O Lord; Our spirits rejoice in you!”

Our spirits rejoice in you!
God our Savior, you cast down the mighty from their thrones and lift up the lowly. May both the mighty and the lowly, and all those in-between, experience the amazing depth of your great mercy.

God our Savior, you long for the hungry to be filled with good things. May we work with you to bring forth good food and drink from your precious earth.

Our spirits rejoice in you!
God our Savior, nothing is impossible with you. May all those who have died find a place in the eternal kingdom of your Christ.

Our spirits rejoice in you!
