Week of Joy, Day 3

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

We light this candle for joy.

Holy God, you sent John into the wilderness 
to baptize and proclaim good news to all. 
Baptize us with the fire of your Spirit 
so that we may repent and bear good fruit,
while we await the promised coming 
of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
