The Advent Wreath
A candle on the Advent wreath is lit, and a prayer is said.
Blessed are you, Sovereign Lord, God of our ancestors:
to you be praise and glory for ever!
You called the patriarchs to live by the light of faith
and to journey in the hope of your promised fulfilment.
May we be obedient to your call
and be ready and watchful to receive your Christ,
a lamp to our feet and a light to our path;
for you are our light and our salvation.
Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
All Blessed be God for ever.
