2nd Candle in Advent
One: Last Sunday we lit the first candle—the candle of hope.
Today we light the second candle, the candle of peace. We
light it knowing full well that peace is elusive, and in some
parts of the world, it is almost completely absent. Yet in this
season of Advent, we trust that God is never absent from us.
God is always preparing something new. And even where
there is war and discord, whether between countries, within
families, or within our own hearts, God is present, gently lead-
ing us to new possibilities.
All: Loving God, in this time of preparation and plan-
ning, We thank you for the hope and peace you
unfailingly offer us. Show us the creative power of hope.
Teach us the peace that comes from justice.
Prepare our hearts to be transformed by you,
That we may walk in the light of Christ.

Luke 1:47-55 (NIV)
47
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49
for the Mighty One has done great things for
me—
holy is his name.
50
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their
inmost thoughts.
52
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54
He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55
to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
