  •  The First Sunday in Advent traditionally focuses on the return of Jesus in glory. The Gospel and second reading focus on this theme.
  • The Second and Third Sundays focus on John the Baptist, who was sent to prepare God’s people for the coming of the Anointed One by calling them to repentance.
  •  The Fourth Sunday focuses on the birth and the family of Jesus.
  •  The Nicene Creed is the suggested creed for use during Advent.
  • The response after each bid of the intercessions might be:

Let us pray to the Lord:

                Come, Lord Jesus.
