🙏待降節第三主日祈禱文

慈愛的天父，

我們感謝祢，在待降節第三主日點燃代表「牧羊人的蠟燭」的粉紅色蠟燭，提醒我們天使向曠野牧羊人的信息：「不要害怕！我有好消息告訴你們；這消息要帶給萬民極大的喜樂。」主啊，我們的心因祢的救恩而喜樂，因祢的降臨而充滿盼望。

在這充滿挑戰的世界中，我們時常被恐懼與不安纏繞，求祢以祢的愛驅散我們的黑暗，將真正的喜樂植入我們的心中。這不是因環境而來的短暫快樂，而是因祢的同在而湧出的深切安慰與滿足。

主啊，祢賜給我們喜樂，是要我們不僅自己得著，也能與他人分享。求祢教導我們像牧羊人一樣，將所聽見、所看見的好消息傳遞出去，帶給身邊的人平安與盼望。在孤單的人面前，我們成為祢喜樂的見證；在憂傷的人心裡，我們成為祢愛的安慰。

我們也為這世界祈禱，願祢的喜樂如光，照亮每一處陰影；願祢的好消息如種子，撒播在每一個心田。當人們聽見祢的福音時，願他們的生命得著更新，心靈充滿感恩與歡欣。

主啊，感謝祢提醒我們，「喜樂的心乃是良藥」。求祢幫助我們在每日生活中，無論順境或逆境，都常常以祢為樂，讓祢的恩典成為我們的力量，祢的愛成為我們的泉源。我們如此祈禱，是奉靠祢愛子耶穌基督的名，阿們。

🙏 Prayer for the Third Sunday of Advent

Loving Father,

We thank You for the Third Sunday of Advent, as we light the pink candle representing the "Shepherds’ Candle," reminding us of the angel's message to the shepherds in the wilderness: “Do not be afraid! I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” Lord, our hearts rejoice in Your salvation and are filled with hope because of Your coming.

In this challenging world, we are often entangled by fear and anxiety. We ask You to dispel our darkness with Your love and plant true joy within our hearts. This joy is not a fleeting happiness dependent on circumstances but a profound comfort and satisfaction arising from Your presence.

Lord, the joy You give us is meant not only for ourselves but also to be shared with others. Teach us to be like the shepherds, sharing the good news of what we have seen and heard, bringing peace and hope to those around us. May we bear witness to Your joy before the lonely and offer Your loving comfort to the sorrowful.

We also pray for the world. May Your joy, like a light, illuminate every shadow; may Your good news, like seeds, be sown in every heart. As people hear Your gospel, may their lives be transformed, and their hearts be filled with gratitude and rejoicing.

Lord, thank You for reminding us that “a joyful heart is good medicine.” Help us to find delight in You each day, whether in times of ease or difficulty. Let Your grace be our strength and Your love be our source.

We pray this in the name of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
