Advent: Week Two

May our prayer of petition rise before you, we pray, O Lord,that, with purity unblemished,we, your servants, may come, as we desire,to celebrate the great mysteryof the Incarnation of your Only Begotten Son.Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, for ever and ever.

 

We re-light the candle of hope and now also light the Second Purple candle of love. We know that God is love. We remember with thankful hearts the gift of Jesus, who came as a babe in a manger, lived and loved among us, was killed on a cross, and arose! Love endures forever.
