Dec
13 – The Third Sunday of Advent
May we, your people,
who look forward to the birthday
of Christ,
experience the joy of salvation
and celebrate that feast with
love and thanksgiving.
We ask this through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Luke
1:46b-55 (Mary’s Canticle – the Magnificat)
"My
soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on the lowliness
of his servant.
Surely, from now on all generations will call
me blessed;
for the Mighty One has done great things for
me, and holy is his name.
His mercy is for those who fear him from
generation to generation.
He has shown strength with his arm;
he has
scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
and lifted up the lowly;
he has filled the hungry with good things, and
sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel, in
remembrance of his mercy,
according to the promise he made to our ancestors,
to Abraham and to his descendants forever."

often abrupt and unsettling rather than predictable and settling.” |
