A Prayer for Lighting of the Advent Wreath

Tonight, our nights grow shorter and our days grow long!

We look once more on these earthy symbols–firelight and evergreens–
and remember God’s promise to our world:
That our Light and our Hope, will come.

The Words of the Prophet

What came into existence was Life,
And the Life was Light to live by.

The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;
And the darkness could not put it out.

The people who lived in darkness have seen a great light, and we have beheld its glory, glory that only comes from God:

generous from the inside out,
true from start to finish,
full of grace, full of truth.
