Lighting the Advent Wreath: Advent 4

We praise you, O God, for this wheel of time

that marks our days of preparation for Christ’s advent.

As we light the candles on this wreath,

open our eyes to see your presence

in the lowly ones of this earth.

Enlighten us with your grace,

that we may sing of your advent among us

in the Word made flesh.

Grant this through Christ our Lord,

whose coming is certain and whose day draws near.

Amen.

Light all four candles.

Prayer of the Day

Stir up your power, Lord Christ, and come. With your abundant grace and might, free us from the sin that binds us, that we may receive you in joy and serve you always, for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen.
