DECEMBER 23
“‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great
joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior
has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you:
you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’
And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel,
praising God and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to
those on whom his favor rests.’” Lk. 2:9-14
Reflection: The
shepherds live on the fringe of Israelite society, but it doesn’t matter. The
heavens explode with splendor as countless angels proclaim the glorious news -
He is here! The time has finally come!
Prayer: God
our Father, fill us with the awe of the shepherds standing in the blinding
light of heaven coming to earth. May we come and adore him at all times. Amen.
