Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer in preparation for Advent

Advent is the season that prepares us for the birth of Christ. During these four weeks, we will see in church a wreath with 4 candles:
3 purple candles representing hope, love, and peace, and a pink candle representing joy. Every week we’d be lighting a candle until we light a white one in the middle on Christmas day, signifying the light Jesus brings to our world.

  • Distribute the candles around the plate with the white in the middle, also decorating the plate with leaves and flowers if you like. 
  • Light the first purple candle, which represents hope. 
  • Pray that every person finds hope in a life closer to God.

How to use this space

God speaks to us in many ways, including through prayer at home. Here you will find useful background and activities to better understand how to pray, helping you to connect with God in your daily life in a meaningful way.
