Happy first day of Advent! 🕯
Today, we light the first purple candle. Purple is the primary color of Advent, but also represents “royalty,” fitting our anticipation and preparation for the birth of Christ the King.
💜Candle Name: Prophecy Candle
💜Representation: Hope
💜Scripture Reflection: “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined.” Isaiah 9:2
💜Advent Wreath Prayer: “Dear Jesus, you are the hope in our messy world. This Advent, help us slow down, listen to your voice, and focus on what’s really important. We place our hope in you as we prepare our hearts to celebrate your birth on Christmas. Amen.”
