Ave Maria Meditations
Prayer for Virtues in Advent:
Lord Jesus, at this time of Advent, when the whole world is busily preparing for the imminent festivities, Your words come into my mind from the Scriptures: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?” You once came into our midst in humility and mercy, and You will come once more in glory and justice, to try the whole world. I pray that when the day comes to meet You, You will find me with strong faith, a persistent hope and fervent love first of all for You and also for my neighbor. Inspire me and grant me holy adherence to all You have revealed to us. Amen
