A Short Prayer on the Eve of Advent:

Thank-you God for the great gift of Life.  Of blessing me with the grace of encountering the Beauty of your Creation.  As I enter the Season of Advent may your Spirit guide me to use my talents to give praise to you, My Creator.  I  am sorry for the sins I have committed against you and against Life.  Enkindle the fire of joy in my soul anew and make of it a fitting and true Temple for You.
