A course to lead us into a deeper awareness of the ever-present God.
There are times in our lives when we struggle against the darkness, seeking to disperse the gloom. Advent comes at the darkest time of the year when the nights are longest. It is about the coming of Christ, the Light of the World, who comes to us, transforming our darkest days by his presence; it's a special time of candle-lighting.
Candles in the Dark is an Advent resource for groups, but it is an equally valuable and enriching book for individuals, comprising six sessions which include scripture readings, music, candle-lighting and visual symbols, prayers and reflections.
Each session draws meaning and inspiration from a special theme: the Patriarchs, our ancestors in the faith, such as Abraham and Moses; the Prophets, for example Elijah and Isaiah: John the Baptist; the Virgin Mary; the Shepherds and Wise Men - those whose faith shone out like candles in the dark, who brought us the Light and the Word, through whom the Lord sought to guide us, who prepared the way, who came and sought the Lord. He seeks to be born in us, and awaits entry into our hearts, our lives and homes.
