Scripture Reading
The people who walked in darkness For the yoke of their burden, For a child has been born for us, His authority shall grow continually, |
|
Reflection People walk in darkness throughout our world. Bars of oppression still burden the weak - people of violence cause bloodshed on a barely imaginable scale. Where is the one with authority to establish justice and righteousness? And where can we find signs of the coming of that kingdom in our troubled world today? Write down - or copy and paste - a verse - a phrase - or an idea based on your reflection to refer to during the day. Prayer O Key of David and sceptre of Israel, what you open no one else can close again; what you close no one can open. O come to lead the captive from prison; free those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. 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 | O Rising Sun | |
