Advent Candles
(Haiku)
By Janet Kaderli
The Candle of Hope:
Uplifting, enduring trust
In God's promises.
The Candle of Peace:
The Spirit is life and peace
Given through God's love.
The Candle of Love:
"This is my Son, whom I love."
Given for mankind.
The Candle of Joy:
Proclaim the news of great joy!
The coming of Christ.
The Candle of Christ:
Behold, the Light of the World,
God's Word Incarnate.
