Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun. (Ecclesiastes 11:7)

PRAYER:

Light a candle (or two candles on your Advent wreath), take a deep breath, and pray…

O Come Creator of celestial light and shine on all creation. It is good for me to bask in the light of the sun on a cold winter’s day. The sun’s light is sweet, and it pushes back the gray gloom that has such a negative effect on my soul. I thank you for the pleasant gift of light. Enlighten me. Shine into the deepest and darkest part of my being so that I might follow a path of deep reverence and active care of all that you have made. Through the Resurrected Body of Christ, Amen.
