The beginning of the Advent seasons calls us to vigilance, to look beyond ourselves, to expand our minds and our hearts, to look to the needs of our brothers and sisters, to desire the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom.
God our Father, we praise you for your son, Jesus Christ. He is Emmanuel, the hope of all people. He is the wisdom that teaches and guides us. He is the Savior of every nation.
Lord God, let your blessing come upon us as we bless our Advent wreath on the First Sunday of Advent and as we light the first candle on our wreath. May this wreath and its light be a sign of Christ’s promise to bring salvation to the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
