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

Though the Lord’s coming is at hand, we must have patience: for he will come in his own time, in his own way.
– Lord Jesus, help us to believe that you are coming.

We live in a world weighed down by unbelief:
Lord, increase our faith.
– Lord Jesus, help us to believe that you are coming.

Upon the richness and complexity of man’s thoughts, among the theories and philosophies of our world today,
let your coming shed its own glorious light.
– Lord Jesus, help us to believe that you are coming.

Give us the strong faith of the apostles,
and their fervour in preaching your Word.
– Lord Jesus, help us to believe that you are coming.

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.
