Luce delle Cinque Candele dell'Avvento su Natale - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Light of the Five Advent Candles on Christmas - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
The five Advent candles represent Jesus coming as the light in the darkness. One candle is lit each Sunday until all four candles are lit. Each candle brings a slightly greater light into the darkness as Christmas draws nearer. Sometimes a white candle is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to symbolize that Jesus is with us. This can be referred to as the "Christ candle." Each of the candles lit before Christmas represents an aspect of preparation during the season of Advent. The four candles of Advent represent the four Sundays of Advent and symbolize hope, peace, joy, and love. Also, the fifth candle on Christmas represents the birth of Christ. Infant Jesus is the hope of new life, a perfect life where the old becomes new again. I can rejoice with you in surviving each day, year, and earthly life, to realize hope, which renews our spirit with peace, joy, and most of all, love. “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 over many things look forward to your coming among us. We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of Your Kingdom. We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of Your presence. We are Your people, walking in darkness yet seeking the light. To You, we say, ‘Come, Lord Jesus!” “The angel said to them, “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.’ And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host 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.
