Second Wednesday in Advent

Second Wednesday in Advent - Read Isaiah 11:6-9

Ancient mistletoe, in whose presence we taste romance and love, remind us that romance is also an essential part of these days of preparations. Sacred plant in whose proximity, long ago, enemies were required to lay down their arms and embrace each other in peace, be for us a sign of peace and love. May our Advent prayers be set afire, as are vigil candles, with a fire of devotion and great love. May we seek to live in true harmony with family members, neighbours and strangers as we prepare for the birth of Jesus Christ

PRAYER

Let there be peace on earth right now, we
pray, among your children, beginning with us.
Let us break bread together as members of
your dear family. May this meal remind us that
you are a God who provides not only for us but
for all of creation. Amen
