Can you feel the words of St. Augustine in your heart? Is your heart moved by his words of
reflection and confession? How will you be restored during this Advent season?
Transform!
During Mass as we come to the Eucharistic Table, we proclaim the Memorial Acclamation…
our response to God’s coming to dwell among us, particularly in the transformation of
bread and wine into Christ’s Body and Blood. During this Advent season, let us be trans-
formed and live out the Paschal Mystery:
We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you
come again.
Save us, Savior of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection you have set us free.
Prayer
God of justice and peace,
from the heavens you rain down mercy and kindness,
that all on earth may stand in awe and wonder
before your marvelous deeds.
Raise our heads in expectation,
that we may yearn for the coming day of the Lord
and stand without blame before your Son, Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
