Opening Prayer: O Lord our God, may something new be born in
us this day, as well as this season—this season where we celebrate your birth
into this cold and cruel world. This
season where we rejoice over your amazing arrival to live among us; to give us
light and life and hope and peace. We
pray this in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Scripture: John 1:1-18
Journal: How have you seen the Word become flesh during
this season?
Reflection:
Our spiritual life depends on his perpetual coming
to us, far more than on our going to him. Every time a channel is made for him
he comes; every time our hearts are open to him he enters, bringing a fresh
gift of his very life, and on that life we depend. We should think of the whole
power and splendor of God as always pressing in upon our small souls. (Advent
with Evelyn Underhill)
Prayer
Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, Word of God made flesh, thank you
for coming into our dark and hurting world with your life and your light and your
love. Thank you for descending from the
throne room of heaven to become one of us, in order to show us the heart of
your Father. Amen.
