Though the Lord’s coming is at hand, we must have patience: for he will come in his own time, in his own way, to each of us.

We live in a world weighed down by unbelief:

Lord, increase our faith.

Upon the complexity of man’s thoughts, among the theories and philosophies of our world today,

let your coming shed its own glorious light.

Give us the strong faith of the apostles,

and their fervor in preaching your Word.

Let us love the Church,

which continues to proclaim to all ages the reality of your coming.

– Lord Jesus, help us to believe that you are coming.
