The holy season of Advent 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, and to desire the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom.
God our Father, we praise you for your son, Jesus Christ on this first Sunday of Advent. He is Emmanuel, the hope of all people. He is the wisdom that teaches us and guides us. He is the Savior of all the nations.
Lord God, let your blessing come upon us as we bless our Advent wreath on today and as we light the first candle. 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.
