Son of Man, Son of God -
You tell us to beware…keep alert…keep awake. May we keep awake this Advent season as we wait for You to come down with great power and glory.
May we keep awake as we complete the work with which You charge us - the work of loving You and the work of loving our neighbors as ourselves.
May we keep awake to the signs that tell us You are near - at the very gates of our lives.
May we keep awake as we wait for You to send angels to gather us together from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
In the name of the One whose words will not pass away, we pray.
Amen.
