Advent Wreath – A popular Christian Custom – Third Week

Each Sunday in Advent we say the Advent Wreath Prayer for the week and light the candle. In the third week of Advent, light two purple candles and one rose candle. As we begin the third week of Advent, we anticipate Christmas, and so we ask Christ to grant us His grace that we might be prepared for welcoming His Birth.

Advent Wreath Prayer for the Third Week:

Incline Thine ear to our prayers, O Lord, we beseech Thee; and make bright the darkness of our minds by the grace of Thy visitation. Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
