Week of Joy, Day 1

On Sunday we lit the third candle of the Advent Wreath. This candle represents joy.

We light this candle for joy.

Long-awaited Savior, 
you are the promise of the prophets, 
and we are witnesses to your work— 
vision, movement, healing, 
music, new life, good news. 
Enlighten and enliven us, 
send us out to spread the word 
so that all may see and hear 
and know and believe 
that you are the coming of God, 
the Messiah. Amen.
