Fourth Week of Advent 2025

Welcome to the 4th week of Advent marks the final Sunday before Christmas and is a time of deep reflection and anticipation. This week emphasizes themes of love and the coming of Christ as the fulfillment of God’s promise to humanity. Traditionally symbolized by the lighting of the fourth candle on the Advent wreath, it represents peace and the preparation to welcome Jesus into the world. The readings and prayers during this week focus on the joy and hope that His birth brings to all believers.
