Second Sunday of Advent

Advent wreath

Heavenly Father, your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us, a great sign of your love. As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, bring us closer to each other and to your son.
Come, Lord Jesus, lead all people closer to you. Come and dispel the darkness of our world with the light of your love. Amen.
