God of light, who came into a world of darkness and who has never left it, we invite you to be present in the lighting of this candle.

This candle is called the Candle of Peace or Love.  At Christmastime, we celebrate the God of Love who came to Earth as the Prince of Peace.  If we are inspired by love, let us be the peacemakers that Jesus calls the children of God.
