Be the Light of… Leadership
Vision, Creativity, Innovation, Direction
This Sunday marks the fourth week of Advent in our Catholic Church.
Each Sunday in Advent a candle is lit on an Advent Wreath, reminding us that Christmas is coming nearer. The fourth candle is called the Angel’s candle. The increasing light of the candles reminds us that Christmas is now only a few days away. Angels appear many times in the Bible to announce good news. A chorus of angels sang to announce the birth of Jesus.
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests.” Luke 2: 13-14
