Week of Hope, Day 2

On Sunday we lit the first candle of the Advent Wreath. This candle represents hope.

We light this candle in hope.

Holy One, though the earth trembles 
and the stars shake like leaves, 
your word will stand forever. 
Keep us watchful for the day 
when you will gather the faithful 
from all the ends of the earth, 
so that we may greet you in glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
