Advent Candle 2

Week Two: Peace

Reader One: Because of war, because of violence in our communities, because there is still so much unrest in our hearts, we light a candle of peace...

Reader Two: Because hatred is still so strong, because so many swords have not yet been remade into ploughshares, we light a candle of peace… (Light the second candle in your Advent wreath.)

Reader One: May the light from this candle overwhelm the world.

Reader Two: May the light from this candle say to all that God’s peace is coming, on earth as it already is in heaven.

Reader One: Friends, be not afraid, God’s peace is at hand!
