Free Second Sunday of Advent Coloring Page

This season of Advent, I’m spending a little extra time with the second readings for each Sunday. These scripture passages are from Saint Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians, Philippians, and the Hebrews. As the calendar year comes to a close and the liturgical year begins anew, his words of encouragement, advice, and instruction seem to be just what I need to prepare my heart to be a warm place for Christ to dwell.

This coloring page features a passage from Phil 1:4-6, 8-11

Brothers and sisters:
I pray always with joy in my every prayer for all of you,
because of your partnership for the gospel
from the first day until now.
I am confident of this,
that the one who began a good work in you
will continue to complete it
until the day of Christ Jesus.
God is my witness,
how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
And this is my prayer:
that your love may increase ever more and more
in knowledge and every kind of perception,
to discern what is of value,
so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

filled with the fruit of righteousness
that comes through Jesus Christ
for the glory and praise of God.

Use this printable page to pray as you color. You might light an Advent candle and listen to a peaceful playlist. You might also reflect on these questions:

  1. Do I seek the Lord’s guidance in decisions (big and small) in my life?

  2. How can I praise God today?

  3. Do I believe that the Lord is and will continue to work in me?
