O God, our Father, you have made us all, your people; and you laid the earth before us.  Now, we wait.  We sing.  We pray.  We meditate.  Advent reminds us of the quiet calm of time.  As we run by it, we can miss the peace of silence; miss the missing noise of violence; miss the waiting, miss the patience.  Calm us down, O Lord of Nations!  Help us stop, to dream and wonder at the beauty that is under this same sky we call our own.  We stand with awe before your throne.

So often in our lives, we throw ourselves into the world we know.  But you!  You are before us, and more worth our time to understand!  So in this Advent, help us to.  We wish our thoughts to be with you.  We seek your Son, the Christ, again.

Bless us with time, O Lord.

Amen.
