We finished with an Advent Candle Prayer Something to take away and further reflect on this season.

Bring us O Lord God at our last awakening, into the house and gate of heaven; to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be

> no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;

> no noise nor silence, but one equal music;

> no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession;

> no ends nor beginnings but one equal eternity

in the habitation of thy glory and dominium, world without end/. Amen. (John Donne)
