Prima Domenica di Avvento - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“First Sunday of Advent - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
"Lord our God, we lift our praises for your Son, Jesus Christ: Emmanuel, the hope of nations; Wisdom that enlightens and guides us; Savior of all people. Heavenly Father, let your blessings descend upon us as we kindle the flames on this wreath. May this wreath and its radiance signify Christ's pledge to bring us salvation swiftly. May His arrival be imminent. We implore this through Christ our Lord. Amen." (First Advent Candle/Sunday: Hope) "In our earthly realm, a stable housed something greater than our entire world." – C.S. Lewis. It is befitting that the inaugural candle on the Advent wreath embodies Hope – the first Sunday of Advent not only leads us in anticipation of Christ's birth but also marks the commencement of a new liturgical season. The first candle, purple, the primary hue of Advent and a regal symbol, is sometimes known as the 'Prophecy Candle.' This candle echoes Isaiah's prophecy of Christ's birth, fulfilling the Old Testament promises. Light the first candle this Advent on Sunday, December 3, 2022. (The Four Advent Candles) Embedded in Christian tradition, the wreath cradles the four Advent candles, each representing Jesus as the light in the darkness. Every Sunday sees the illumination of a new candle until all four blaze brightly. As Christmas approaches, each candle dispels a bit more darkness. These four candles signify the four Sundays of Advent, symbolizing hope, peace, joy, and love. In some homes and parishes, a fifth candle is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, symbolizing Jesus' birth. This candle, typically white and grander than the others, takes center stage in the wreath, radiating the joy of the Savior's arrival."
