Advent Candle Lighting
Hope – Love – Joy – Peace
1st Sunday of Advent
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who lived in a land of deep darkness: on them light has shined.
We join with sisters and brothers around the world, lighting candles to mark our steps in this Advent journey. Today, we light the candle of Hope. Even though the world seems dark and cold, we know that the light of Christ is coming. The face of our Lord will shine, and we shall be saved! Testifying against all suffering and darkness, we kindle this light. Together, we proclaim to the world that, in Christ, we have hope.
2nd Sunday of Advent
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who lived in a land of deep darkness: on them light has shined.
The light grows gradually brighter as we move through Advent together. Last week we lit the candle of Hope. Today, we light the candle of Joy. We excitedly anticipate the coming of the Mighty One. The promise of healing, comfort, liberty, and freedom is good news that is meant to be shared! Rejoicing in the mercy and justice of our Lord, we kindle this flame. Together, we lift our hearts and voices in songs of joy.
3rd Sunday of Advent
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who lived in a land of deep darkness: on them light has shined.
The light continues to grow, as we move through Advent together. In the last two weeks, we lit the candles of Hope and Joy.
Today, we light the candle of Peace.
We look forward with great anticipation to the coming of our God, who promises to make wars to cease, to the ends of the earth! We say, with the prophet Isaiah:
“He is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace.”
4th Sunday of Advent
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who lived in a land of deep darkness: on them light has shined.
Week by week, the lights we kindle grows stronger and brighter, as we anticipate the coming Christ. The candles of Hope, Joy, and Faith glow brilliantly.
Today we light the candle of Love.
The coming Lord is forever faithful.
The never-ending loving-kindness that the Lord has for us is a gift that is unequaled.
Praise be to God who loved this world so much, that he gave his only-begotten son on our behalf. Together we will demonstrate and share the love of Christ.
