The Fourth Sunday of Advent
The Angel’s Candle, which symbolizes PEACE.
Tonight we light the Prophet’s Candle, remembering to Hope in promises of the Lord given though men and women long ago.
We light the Bethlehem Candle, remembering Mary and Joseph’s Faith as they traveled to Bethlehem, where Jesus would be born.
We also light the pink Shepherd’s Candle, remembering the Shepherds’ Joy upon hearing the news of Jesus’s birth.
Finally, we light the Angel’s Candle, once again purple as we prepare our hearts for our Savior’s arrival. Tonight we remember the Angel’s song of promise: that Christ will bring Peace to all the earth.
Luke 2:13–14
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
Let’s enjoy together the carol, Angels We Have Heard on High. May we model Christ by being instruments of God’s Peace and Light in this dark world.
Continue with the day’s reading, songs, and prayer from the Joy of Advent Daily Readings.
