We place on the altar our needs and those of all the women and men of the earth.

* So that we who believe in you, may live this advent with a festive heart, .

MAKE US SHOW YOUR PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES,

* So that those who have never heard of you, Lord, meet with one of us who can infect them with the good news,.

MAKE US SHOW YOUR PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES,

* So that in the world of our family, our work and play, the good news of the gospel is made known,.

MAKE US SHOW YOUR PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES

* So that we may fight against injustice and inequality whilst being austere and simple, .

MAKE US SHOW YOUR PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES,

* So that your church and those of your people who are most visible and most heard, truly represent the poor and simple Jesus.

MAKE US SHOW YOUR PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES.
