Children Pray:
Advent and Christmas
At the beginning of Advent
How dark outside!
but see -- a star's in the sky;
Mary and Joseph are passing by.
So let's light a candle to welcome them
as they go on their way to Bethlehem.
We'll
light a candle in church each day,
We'll light one candle each week and pray.
We'll
light a candle at home each day,
We'll light a candle each week and pray.
Prayer while lighting the Advent candle:
a family prayer for every day of Advent
O God,
as light comes from this candle,
may the blessing of Jesus Christ come to us,
warming our hearts and
brightening our way.
May Christ our Savior bring life
into the darkness of this world,
and to us, as we wait for his coming.
