Advent is a time of joyful preparation for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
During these four weeks, we prepare our hearts through prayer, reflection, and hope.
Each week of Advent centers on a special theme — hope, peace, joy, and love — leading us closer to the light of Christmas.
These prayers will help you journey through this holy season with faith and devotion.

as we light the first candle of Advent, we remember the gift of hope You bring into our lives.
May Your light shine in our hearts and dispel the darkness of fear and doubt.
Help us to place our trust in You and to wait patiently for the coming of our Savior.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Second Week of Advent – Prayer for Peace
Lord Jesus Christ,
Prince of Peace, come into our world and still the storms of our hearts.
As we light the second candle of Advent, grant us the peace that only You can give.
Make us instruments of Your peace in our homes, our communities, and our world.
May Your peace reign in our hearts always.
Amen.
