Advent Prayer

A shoot will emerge from the lineage of Jesse, and from that shoot, a blossom will appear! The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon Him — the Spirit of wisdom and insight, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and reverence for God. Those who have journeyed in darkness will behold a magnificent light. For a Child is given to us, a Son entrusted to us. To Him shall belong all authority. His name will be: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He will reign on David's throne, and He will establish a new Covenant that endures forever.
