Let The Advent Wreath Prayer Guide You To Create Something Beautiful Dec. 10, 2023

As we celebrate the season of Advent, we would like to share these Advent wreath lighting prayers and encourage you to use them at home.

Today we light the first and second candles of the Advent wreath. Each candle has a meaning. The first candle is HOPE, the second candle is PEACE.

Form us into your Peace-makers. Enable us to look within ourselves, to make straight our crooked hearts, to patiently and lovingly await changes in ourselves and others. As you gather us tenderly, and hold us close, may we also show that same compassion to the world. Fill our hearts with your peace, and our lives with your love, that these may flow from our lives and into our world. We ask this through Christ, our Savior and our peace, Amen.
