Advent Wreath Lit Against a Plaid Red ClothRev. Merianna Harrelson
Living Liturgy

A Litany for Waiting


Post Author: Rev. Merianna Harrelson


Here we are again:
a season of waiting,
a season of watching. 

Here we are again:
a season of wondering
a season of hoping. 

Here we are again:
waiting for the light,
preparing for the promise
of the Divine
here with us. 

Hear us now again
as we hang onto hope,
as we practice faith
as we find joy,
as we spread love, 

So that the light of the world
is born here again.
