The USCCB has a wonderful tool on their website for family’s to enjoy and better understand this Advent Season. HERE

Tonight is the first night of Advent. The first candle is lit and we begin our journey to the newborn King.

Bless your Advent wreath. Sing “O Come Emmanuel” and light the first candle.

Prayer for the First Week of Advent

God of our longing,
be with us during these days of Advent
as we accept Your invitation
to climb Your holy mountain.
May we walk in the light of Your love
and learn your ways
so that each day may draw us closer
to You and another
as we await the coming
of the One Who is
and Who is to come,
Jesus Christ, Your Son,
in Whose name we pray.
Amen
