Blessing of the First Candle in the Advent Wreath

(The prayer has to be recited by the priest after the introduction, before lighting the Advent Candle)

Let us pray;

God our loving Father, we praise you

And thank you for this day

As we begin this holy season of advent

Let your blessing come upon us,

As we light the first candle in the advent wreath

On the first Sunday of advent which symbolizes HOPE

May it instill in us the everlasting hope

That you would come one day in glory

We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen
