As winter deepens and the days grow shorter, Advent arrives as a gentle reminder to pause and prepare. More than a countdown to Christmas, Advent is a season of reflection, anticipation, and renewal. The word itself comes from the Latin adventus, meaning “coming,” pointing us toward the promise of what lies ahead.
Advent is a journey of the heart. It invites us to look back on the year, to honor both struggles and victories, and to step forward with hope. Each week, a candle is lit on the Advent wreath, carrying with it a message that guides us through the season: hope, peace, joy, and love.
Week 1: Hope
The first candle, known as the Prophet’s Candle, shines with hope. It reminds us that even in uncertain times, light is near. Hope is the spark that keeps us moving forward, trusting that brighter days will come.
Week 2: Peace
The second candle, the Bethlehem Candle, glows with peace. It calls us to find calm within ourselves and to share that calm with others. In a world filled with noise and conflict, peace is a gift we can choose daily.
Week 3: Joy
The third candle, the Shepherd’s Candle, sparkles with joy. Joy is more than happiness, it is gratitude and delight in life’s simple moments. When we share joy, it multiplies and brightens the season for everyone.
Week 4: Love
The fourth candle, the Angel’s Candle, radiates love. Love is the foundation of Advent and the heart of Christmas. It reminds us of the love we receive and the love we are called to give.
Advent is not about rushing through the days. It is about slowing down, reflecting, and preparing our hearts. It is a season of renewal, a chance to be present, and a reminder that hope, peace, joy, and love are always within reach.
May this Advent season bring warmth, inspiration, and connection to you and your loved ones. May your days be filled with light, and may your heart be ready to welcome the wonder of Christmas.
Infinite Love, Peace & Joy
