One who saves us –
Your birth took place in this way.
An engagement. A pregnancy from the Holy Spirit.
A plan for a quiet dismissal.
A dream. An angel’s appearance. An overturning of resolutions.
Jesus – You are the fulfillment of Isaiah’s words echoing across time. Wake us from our fear-filled sleep, so we may support Your birth in our world.
Amen.
(The Fourth Sunday of Advent is December 18.)
