LIGHTING THE FOURTH AND FINISHING CANDLE AROUND OUR ADVENT WREATH - THE LIGHT OF GOD'S PEACE AND JUSTICE...........

Lighting the fourth and final seasonal purple candle today brings brightness to the full circle of the Advent Wreath, representing the immediacy of the long awaited Coming of  Jesus, God's Anointed One and Our Savior, anew this Christmas, two thousand years plus, after He was born in History.  The fullness of the Advent Wreath's Light denotes the Peace and Justice desires for Creation and all Humankind.  A Peace that is truly right and just; a Justice that is compassionate and merciful.  As we walk into the Light of Christ's Coming past and present in these closing Advent Days, and embrace His present Coming this Christmas and Everyday, may the Spirit of Justice, anchored in dignity and equality, and the reality of God's Reign of everlasting Peace fill the home of our hearts in Jesus The Christ...........Fr.  Troy
