13th December - Meditation


The angel Gabriel said to Mary, "Do not fear, Mary, you shall conceive and bear a son and give him the name Jesus. Great will be his dignity and he will be called Son of the Most High..." Luke 1

Reflection - O Jesus, I believe you were born of Mary and are God's Son. Your mysterious coming is beyond understanding. Yet like your mother, Mary, I wish that you come to me, for you promised you will. Let me serve you in any way I can and know that you are with me day by day as my life goes by.
Like Mary, your mother, though I know you only by faith, may my whole being proclaim your greatness and my spirit rejoice in your favor to me. O Wisdom, holy Word of God, Jesus Christ,holding all things in your strong yet tender hands, come and show us the way to salvation.

Prayer - O Wisdom,
Holy Word of God,
Jesus Christ
Holding all things in your strong yet tender hands,
Come and show me the way to salvation.
That this Christmas I may believe again in the wonder of your birth, the mystery of your death and delight in your love for me.
Amen
