First Sunday of Advent, HOPE!1st of the 4 weeks we joyfully and with prayer prepare for the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ's birth at Christmas... And opening our hearts in trust for God's truth and love for the coming of the Light of the world. May we share that light and love with all our brothers and sisters, help them get to know Gospa's son, Jesus, in their hearts May the Holy Spirit help us all use wisdom to do God's will together. Peace be with you today everyone!
~~~ Our Lady, Gospa's Medjugorje message, Advent, 1983, thru visionary: "Begin by calling on the Holy Spirit each day. The most important thing is to pray to the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit descends on earth, then everything becomes clear, and everything is transformed." ~Gospa.
Bless the ADVENT WREATH "Traditionally, Advent wreaths are constructed of a circle of evergreen branches into which four candles are inserted, representing the 4 weeks of Advent. Ideally, three candles are purple and one is rose, but white candles can also be used.
The purple candles in particular symbolize the prayer, penance, and preparatory sacrifices and goods works undertaken at this time. The rose candle is lit on the third Sunday, Gaudete Sunday, Gaudete Sunday is the Sunday of rejoicing, because the faithful have arrived at the midpoint of Advent, when their preparation is now half over and they are close to Christmas.
The progressive lighting of the candles symbolizes the expectation and hope surrounding our Lord’s first coming into the world and the anticipation of his second coming to judge the living and the dead."(~USSCB.org)
