12/20/2015 - Blessing of Advent Wreath – Fourth Sunday of Advent - :

We light all four candles today for this fourth Sunday of Advent as we journey ever closer to the day of the birth of our Savior. 

Let us pray.

Stir up your might, we pray Thee, O Lord, and hasten your arrival.  As we hear of the Virgin Mother’s courage and compassion in her visit to her cousin Elizabeth, may all of us boldly live out our faith with passion and mercy as we anticipate the birth of your Son.  May the light of these four candles symbol the light that he is in our world and may it give us hope and encouragement through the trails and challenges of our own journeys.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
