PRAYER FOR THE THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Incline Thine ear to our prayers, O Lord, we beseech Thee;
and make bright the darkness of our minds by the grace of Thy visitation. Who livest and reignest with God the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
Today’s candle symbolizes love.
When we think of love, we are reminded of the joy that is found in the hearts of all those who love God and rejoice when they hear of The Messiah.
God sent an angel to make the announcement to the Shepherds who were tending their flocks in the fields. The angel told them where to find Jesus and they quickly obeyed God and joyfully went to look for Him. They believed in the Word of The Lord and they wanted to see the Savior of the world who had come humbly in the form of a child.
Are you like these shepherds?
Do you believe?
Are you seeking the truth of the words of the Angel of God?
Are you looking for the Christ child to come?
It is believing God, seeking His truth and obeying His word that leads us down the path that brings us straight to love and joy.
Why do you think God spoke to the shepherds instead of a king?
It was the shepherds that He used to proclaim His good news to the world, not the rulers of the nations.
Are you a shepherd too?
Do you have the blessing of a shepherd in your life that has helped you to hear the good news?
We should thank God for all the Good Shepherds out there who are spreading the wonderful news of the gospel, and we all should aspire to do our part - to spread the love of God throughout the land as we continue through the wonderful season of Advent.
Remember! He is coming!
