Light of the Five Advent Candles on Christmas - Painting by Dino Carbetta

The five Advent candles symbolize Jesus coming as the light in the darkness. One candle is lit each Sunday during Advent, progressively illuminating the path toward Christmas as all four candles are eventually lit. Each flame represents the increasing light of Christ dispelling the shadows of the world. On Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, a white candle, often called the "Christ candle," is lit to signify that Jesus is with us. Each candle before Christmas reflects a particular aspect of preparation during Advent. The four candles symbolize the four Sundays of Advent, representing hope, peace, joy, and love. The fifth candle, lit on Christmas, celebrates the birth of Christ—the Light of the World. Together, we can rejoice in the grace to endure each day, each year, and the journey of life, finding hope that restores our spirit with peace, joy, and love. A heartfelt prayer for this sacred time: “Lord Jesus, Master of both light and darkness, send Your Holy Spirit upon our preparation for Christmas. We, who have so much to do, seek quiet spaces to hear Your voice each day. We, who are anxious about many things, long for Your presence among us. We, who are abundantly blessed, yearn for the fullness of joy in Your Kingdom. We, whose hearts are heavy, seek the consolation of Your presence. We are Your people, walking in darkness yet seeking Your light. To You, we cry, ‘Come, Lord Jesus!’” As the angel proclaimed: “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today, in the city of David, a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” Suddenly, a multitude of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.”Luke 2:10–14
