Advent . Week 3 . Wednesday

As we seek you — through joy and pain, amidst the calm and the bustling, in Christmas tree lights and silent star lights — O Emmanuel, fill us with delight in the journey and compassion for our fellow travelers. Keep us ever mindful of the wounds and strains of others, so that we participate in healing more than injury. Make us willing workers as we search for you, midwives of the fullest life that is still to come. Amen.
