ONE: Jesus came to bring peace to our hearts and souls, to all the world that we may live in peace. Let there be peace on earth, and let it be with us. ALL: Our God, we thank you for the knowledge that peace is possible because of the Prince of Peace. Keep reminding us to let Jesus show us the Way, and one day true peace will be a reality. Amen. ONE: We have lit four candles on our way to lighting the Christ Candle. ONE: Tonight we bring it all together as we light this Christ Candle and celebrate Christ who lightens our lives with hope, love, joy, and peace. ALL; Come, let us adore Him, and let us share Him. Let us sing and give praise to Christ our Lord. Amen. |
