We light this candle as a symbol
of the Prince of Peace.
May the visitation of Your Holy Spirit.
O God,
make us ready for the coming of Jesus,
our Hope and Joy.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
********************
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given:
and the government shall be upon His shoulder:
and His name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counselor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David,
and upon His kingdom,
to order it,
and to establish it with judgment and with justice
from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:6-7
********************
Lord,
We long for the day when we will experience Your peace,
the peace that passes all understanding,
true peace,
wholeness,
completeness,
restoration,
Shalom.
