O Emmanuel, God with us, as we light the final candle of Advent, we thank You for the immense love You showed by sending Your Son.
Help us to know You better, to see Your love in the world, and to carry that love in our hearts.
Fill us with Your Spirit so we can be examples of Your grace, reflecting Your patient, kind, and sacrificial love to everyone we meet.
Come, Lord Jesus, and be with us now and always.
Amen.
