Week Two Advent Prayer

We light the second candle of Advent: the candle of prophets calling for justice, struggling for right to replace wrong, for dignity to replace oppression; the candle of the prophets calling for waste places to be renewed, pointing to light emerging from the darkness.

Father, who sends the light, Jesus who is the light, Spirit who radiates the light, we bring to you those in darkness.

Send out Your light and Your truth. Let them lead me, let them bring me to where You make Your home.
