The Light is come and the darkness shall not overcome it! That Light is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Ever- lasting Parent, Prince of Peace. His name is Emmanuel: “God with us.” Hope has come. Joy has come. We light this candle to symbolize that the Light of the World has come. Thanks be to God.
Love Incarnate, we sing a new song to you today—a lullaby of gratitude. We give thanks with the moon and sun that illuminate your Good News. We sing praise with stars sparkling at the wonder of your birth. Awaken us more fully to the miracle of an infant who transformed the world. Transform our lives with your Love. Amen.
