DECEMBER 17
"But you, Bethlehem-Ephrathaha least among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; Whose origin
is from of old, from ancient times.” Mic. 5:1
Reflection: It
is not in Jerusalem that the stage is set for the coming of the Messiah, but in
the little towns of Bethlehem of Judea and Nazareth in Galilee. Joseph, a
simple carpenter, and Mary, a girl of about 14 years will be the earthly
parents of the promised King of Kings.
Prayer: God
our Father, after generations of men and women who, at best, followed you
imperfectly, you bring forth Joseph and Mary – our wonderful examples of love
and devotion to You. Show us how to ask for their unending intercession in our
journey of faith. Amen.
