What is the meaning of Advent?  What should we be doing during this?  It's a penitential time so God is asking us to turn away from sin and turn back towards Him. 

Heavenly Father, please bless this little tree and let it us help us to prepare for the coming of your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Let each ornament remind us that we are to increase our charity, increase our prayers and increase our love.

May each light remind us that though we are many, each of us is called individually by you to be a light unto this world.

As we gather round this tree, let it remind me to mend any brokenness in my family and forgive those things that may be keeping us apart.

We pray for those who do not have a little tree in their home. We pray that we our open to give to them as abundantly as you, Lord God, have given to us. Amen.
