prayers for advent

Season of Hope has two parts: the first is a special Vespers [evening prayer] for Advent, which can be prayed together with others or alone.

It comprises a combination of psalms from the Vespers for the third Sunday of Advent from before and after the liturgical reforms, variants on some traditional Advent prayers, like the O Antiphons, and some more novel, seasonally appropriate, inclusions

The second part of Season of Hope is a set of readings from the prophets proclaiming the birth of Christ, with an introduction and advice on celebrating a liturgy where they precede and contextualise the vespers.

Whilst designed to be read with others, they can also be read alone.
