(from Evangelical Catholicism)
For Humility and an End to Materialism
Dear Heavenly Father,
As our hearts are evermore filled with joy
as the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
approaches near,
give us the perseverance
to remain in your love
during this season and not be blinded
by consumerism and materialism
that seems to be all around us.
May we empty ourselves completely
from our pride, banal concerns and desires,
so that we may find in you
the sweet freedom and joy we all long for.
Grant this through your Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
