The Second Sunday of Advent

The Candle of Peace


Loving God, we thank you for your peace born in us through your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. May we, like John, prepare the way for the Prince of Peace by seeking justice and repentance. We ask this in the name of the one born in Bethlehem, Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Come join us!

The Collect for the Second Sunday of Advent

Merciful God, who sent your messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation: Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Mary is the model of the faith to which God calls all of us: a total and unreserved yes to God’s request to be present in and to the world through us.
