Now, as we approach the third Sunday of Advent 8 only one day and we shall lite the third candle , we must remind us that Advent truly is a beginning and a preparation. It is a beginning that, like all true beginnings, we make from nothing .
It is a soul preparation for great joy and light of Christmas .
Lord,
let Your glory dawn to take away our darkness.
May we be revealed as the children of Light
at the coming of Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Lord ,
Let me be a child of Your light
and feel the fire of Your love
and the glory of Your words.
Most of all, let me be grateful to You
For the greatest gift of Christmas .
Amen
May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
