Light the Second purple candle and then the first purple candle.
This second candle represents Love. It symbolizes God's love for us.

John 3:16-17

16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

17. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

This candle is also known as the "Bethlehem Candle".

Luke 1: 34- 38 (King James)

34. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37. For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
