Second Sunday of Advent: The Candle of Peace


By Nikita Volvoikar

As the Advent season unfolds, today marks the Second Sunday of Advent, celebrated by lighting the Peace Candle, also known as the Prophet’s Candle. This candle symbolizes the divine peace that Jesus Christ brings — a peace that calms our hearts, heals our wounds, and restores what the world often tries to take away.

In a time when stress, conflict, hatred, division, and uncertainty seem to be on the rise, the Peace Candle calls us back to the essence of Christ’s message. He is the Prince of Peace, the one who brings stillness to troubled hearts and hope to weary souls.

Today, we are reminded to pray for peace:

  • In our hearts, where fear and anxiety often reside
  • In our families, where misunderstandings can arise
  • In our communities, where unity is needed
  • Across the world, where wars and unrest continue

As we light this candle, may it inspire us not only to seek peace but to be bearers of peace — through kindness, forgiveness, compassion, and love. Advent is a journey of preparation, and peace is one of its most profound gifts.
