We ask God to bless our Advent wreath today as we light one candle on this first Sunday of Advent:
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we praise you and we thank you for the gift of your Son.
You sent Jesus as a light to the nations, to reveal your light and love to a world that was darkened by sin.
Christ is our hope and our salvation.
He is Emmanuel.
He is the promised Messiah.
He brings wisdom and peace to our troubled world.
Lord God, as we bless this wreath on this first Sunday of Advent, we ask that you also bless those who gaze upon its light in hopeful anticipation.
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
