Prayer for the Fourth Sunday of Advent
Heavenly Father,
On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, we light the candle of Love, the greatest gift You have given us. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we reflect on the boundless love that brought Him into the world to save us.
Lord, we are reminded of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, guided by faith and sustained by love. Their love for You and for each other gave them strength to overcome every challenge. May their example inspire us to walk in love, offering compassion and care to all who need it.
We pray especially for mothers and babies served by MaterCare International. Surround them with Your love, and through the generosity of many, provide them with the care and dignity they deserve. Let our actions and contributions this Advent be a reflection of Your divine love, bringing hope and healing to those in need.
As we light this final candle, may its flame ignite a spirit of love in our hearts. Guide us to be instruments of Your love in the world, sharing it through our words, our deeds, and our prayers.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, the greatest gift of love, whose coming we eagerly await. Amen.

On this Third Sunday of Advent, we light the candle of Joy, remembering the joy that comes from trusting in Your promises. As we journey alongside Mary and Joseph in spirit, we reflect on their perseverance, courage, and unwavering faith as they neared Bethlehem.
Lord, we ask for the same steadfastness in our hearts as we face our own challenges. May we find joy in the journey, even when the road is difficult, just as Mary and Joseph did.
Bless all mothers who walk their own paths with courage, especially those served by MaterCare International. Strengthen them and bring them hope, peace, and joy through Your presence.
Guide us, Lord, to walk with purpose and to offer our steps, our prayers, and our generosity to support mothers in need. Let every action we take this Advent season reflect Your light and love.
We pray this through Christ, our Lord, the source of all joy. Amen.
Prayer for the Second Sunday of Advent
Heavenly Father,As we light the second candle of Advent, symbolizing Peace, we reflect on Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem. Their path was long and uncertain, yet they trusted in Your divine plan.
Lord, we ask for the same faith and trust as we journey through this Advent season. Help us to embrace challenges with grace and courage, just as Mary and Joseph did. May we find peace in knowing You walk with us, and may we share that peace with the mothers and families MaterCare serves, bringing them hope and care during their most vulnerable moments.
Bless our efforts in the Walk to Bethlehem Challenge. Let every step we take remind us of the sacrifices made by Mary and Joseph and inspire us to support those who face similar struggles today.
We pray this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who came to bring peace to the world. Amen.
