ADVENT- SECOND WEEK
Every Christmas arrives with an innovative invitation. It invites us to celebrate the birthday of our beloved Jesus in a trustworthy manner. We are really glad to part take in this beautiful celebration. As we enter into this second week of advent may we take the pleasure of dispelling darkness from within. God the cheerful giver of life and love, we love you for your abundant blessings upon us. Thank you for creating us in a marvelous way. Your presence is our pleasure and your love is our treasure. With hearts full of joy and happiness we praise you through this Bhajan.
Advent is the time of receiving graces more and more. Jesus is the light of the world. He brought light and invite us to live in light. When Jesus is with us we have no reason to live in darkness. He gives the assurance of hope, the hope of new life. He promises the beautiful gift of hope, the hope of transformed life. He unfolds the heavenly hope, the hope of eternal bliss. He reveals the unchanging hope, the hope of radical changes. With this hope we started the advent season.
When we are in the light, we have more reason to live. When we are with the light we have every reason to be happy. When we are for the light we have many reasons to serve our Lord. Joining with our mother church and with every member who entered into this gracious season of advent let us light up the second candle, the candle which symbolizes love, which radiates love and which transmits love.
Hymn:
Psalm122 Let us take turn to recite this psalm. Let our response be I rejoiced when I heard them say: ‘Let us go to God’s house”. We shall pass for a while in cherishing the beauty of God’s house.
‘ Love I give you and you build a world of love’ is the spiritual message of this second week of advent. May love be the mother of all our interactions. May love be the friend in all the situations. May love be the companion when we step into a new venture. May love be the part taker in our undertakings. May love be the lover of us all. With our hearts full of love let us join in this hymn.
Hymn:
God our solace and comfort we entrust our entire being to your loving care and protection. Travel along with us as we prepare ourselves for your sons birthday. En kindle us when our hearts are in trouble. Above all allow us not to be astrayed from your divine protection. Bless our nation, our church and our community that we may all walk in the path of divine love. Shower your graces upon our Christmas friends. Let your guiding spirit be upon all those who are preparing for this Christmas celebration.We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Thank you for your great help.
