Lighting of the Advent wreath - 3rd Sunday in Advent




Three candles, including the rose candle, are lit today on Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent.

Lord, as we light these candles today, may their light
be a beacon of hope to us.
As John the Baptist baptized those souls in the Jordan River, preparing them for the coming of the Lord,
preparing them with light and hope and expectation,
may we prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus
into our lives at Christmas.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
