The candle that we light today, which is purple, symbolizes hope. It is sometimes called the “Prophecy Candle” in remembrance of the prophets, especially Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Christ. It also represents the expectation felt in anticipation of the coming Messiah.
Today is the first day of Advent. Within the Advent wreath are candles that generally represent the 4 weeks of the Advent season as well as "the light of God coming into the world through the birth of Jesus Christ". Each of the candles have their own significance as well…

#Lent is great time to make space for the Word of God. It is time to turn off the TV and open the Bible. It is a time to pull ourselves away from cell phones and connect ourselves to the Gospel.
Compassionate God,
Help us during this Lent not to judge others but to recognize Christ in them. Today, let us work to be a light of Christ in our world. Amen.
