Christmas alegre: Do livro de Missio Dei do Prayer

I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor
and upholds the cause of the needy.

Surely the righteous will praise your name,
and the upright will live in your presence.

Matthew 5:6

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Reflect upon the injustices of this world. Reflect upon the unrighteousness in your heart. Confess them to the Lord and ask for his justice to prevail.

Mary?s Song

My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,

for the Mighty One has done great things for me- holy is his name.

His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.

He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.

He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.

He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful

to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.

Closing Prayer

May we never be satisfied with the justice and righteousness of this world, Lord. Awaken us from our apathy as we cry out for your justice, your righteousness.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
