67C Reign of Christ — 02A - Advent 2A
 
PSALM 122
I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the LORD!”
My feet were standing within the gates of Jerusalem;
Jerusalem – built as a city compact and secure.
There the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD
as decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 
For there the thrones for judgment were set up
the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls,
and security within your towers.”
For the sake of my relatives and friends
I say, “Peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek your good.

For the First Sunday in Advent – Year A
God of the unexpected moment,
bringing form out of chaos;
separating light from the dark;
breathing life into your human creation;
enliven our hearts,
fill us with your expectant Spirit.
Break in on our world
like a flood, like a thief.
Separate the day of the age to come
from the night of our human darkness:
come in your unexpected hour.
