4th Sunday of Advent

Sunday, December 21, is the 4th Sunday of Advent, which marks the final week of preparation, focusing on love, God's faithfulness, and the fulfillment of prophecy, often symbolized by the "Angel's Candle" representing "Peace on Earth". Readings focus on the Messiah's prophetic promises, emphasizing that God keeps His promises and comes to bring light and salvation, culminating in Jesus' birth.
