Reflection Questions:
How can we testify about the light (Jesus) with our lives in ways that are similar to John the Baptist, in ways that are different?

ADVENT
2nd Sunday in Advent: During Advent we light candes on an advent wreath as the light of anticipation grows awaiting the coming of Jesus. Each week we will give a prayer to say during the lighting of the candle.
Prayer Week 2:
SECOND WEEK The following prayer should be repeated each day during the first week. After the prayer the family’s oldest child lights the first and second purple candle. (Family members can also take turns lighting and blowing out the candles on each night.)
Leader: O Lord, stir up our hearts that we may prepare for Thy only begotten Son, that through His coming we may be made worthy to serve Thee with pure minds. Through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen
The two candles are allowed to burn during the evening meals of the second week.
