Scripture Reading Therefore the
Lord himself will give you a sign. Reflection Immanuel, God is with us. Not a god high above heavens watching dispassionately as humanity struggles with violence and injustice. Not a graven image - the work of human imagination and craftsmanship. But a God beyond human understanding who freely enters the history of his Creation to redeem his people - to bring them to the glory of life in eternity. What hope does Immanuel offer you - in your own life - and in the life of the world? Write down - or copy and paste - a verse - a phrase - or a hope based on your reflection to refer to during the day. Prayer O Immanuel, you are our king and judge, the One whom the peoples await and their Saviour. O come and save us, Lord our God. The O Antiphon introduces the Magnificat in Evening Prayer between 17 and 23 December. You may like to include that in your prayer today. | O Antiphon index | |
