Advent Week 4
Love
The fourth candle of Advent represents Love, the ultimate love of God that He might send His only Son for us. Called the “Angel’s Candle,” the fourth candle of Advent is lit the Sunday before Christmas, and it is the color purple, leading us to eagerly await the new Kingdom of God on earth.

The Manger
Our Image this week...
No explanation necessary.
​
Can there be any other image that so fully expresses the meaning of LOVE? To give of Oneself completely for the sake of another(s)? Something we will revisit during Holy Week.
​
But for now, on Christmas Eve, we celebrate and give thanks for the birth of our salvation, of LIGHT in the midst of darkness.
​
“And in the end, everything else will turn out to be unimportant and inessential, except for this:
Father, Child, and Love.”
​
- Pope St. John Paul II
