As we contemplate Your day that approaches, we are keenly aware of the need for Your presence. We need Your presence with us as we gather with Your Family. We understand how utterly devoid the messages we proclaim are without You. May we include Your Dear Son and Your Name early and often in our sermons. Dear God, we know how much the Church needs Your presence as they listen to Your Word. We know that some will come to hear Your beautiful Word proclaimed tomorrow with great emptiness in their hearts. Father, please fill us all who preach Your Word and all who listen to Your Word with Your comforting and mighty presence.
In the Name of the One who will never forsake us, we pray, Amen.
