Let The Advent Wreath Prayer Guide You To Create Something Beautiful - Dec. 17, 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, second, and third candles of the Advent Wreath. Each candle has a meaning. The first candle is HOPE, the second candle is PEACE, and the third candle is JOY.
In gratitude we remember you as creator of all, yet still mindful of each of your children. Grant us the patience to live in joyful hope, to trust in your abiding presence. Open our eyes to see your healing at work in our lives that we might touch the world with tender, compassionate care. Give us the wisdom, courage and strength to bring the joy of your love to transform the earth and to light the way to a more just and peaceful world. We ask this through Christ, our savior and our joy. Amen.
