ADVENT LITURGY: JOY
Written by Bobbi SalkeldToday is the third week of Advent.
This is the season where we prepare with expectant joy to encounter God’s coming to the world. This is where we centre on simple contentment.
In Advent, we find joy in generosity, in solidarity, and in the light that dawns in dark places.
This season is pregnant with joy just below the surface. Together we trust in the anticipation of God’s quiet arrival.
No matter where you are, joy is on the horizon,
the day of God’s coming is near.
Today we light the third Advent candle: the candle of joy.
[Light the “joy” candle.]
PRAYER
Let us pray.
Advent God, this is a season where we are assured that to wait for the newborn is to welcome a gift of great joy.
Mary and Joseph moved forward in their story even with great threat ahead. God, may their story be our story too: strengthen us to sing songs of your joyful coming, even when the future is uncertain.
God, your joy satisfies the hungry and does not forget those in need.
AMEN.
