I light the candles, one each week,
Preparation for the the celebration of Christmas— The event when God, the Creator,
Sent his Son, the Redeemer, Fully human, fully divine, Into this quarrelsome world.
Revealed by the Holy Spirit,
Third member of this triune God— One God, three equal Persons, Creator, Redeemer and Comforter—
Are these gifts, represented by the Advent Candles: One for Hope
Two for Peace Three for Joy Four for Love—
Gifts to be used against
Despair, Contention, Anguish, and Hate In our world.
Lighting the candles, my prayer is Come, Lord Jesus, our Savior. Amen.
And I am longing for a blessed Christmas Filled with joy, peace, love and hope,
For All the World.
