An Advent of Inspiration: Day 20!

Christmas is almost here and today I will be posting the Editor's Letter from My Catholic Family Magazine, a magazine dedicated to "Strengthening the Family." Their goal is to provide Catholic families with ideas, stories, and products that will strengthen their faith. This Editor's Letter is on the Shepherds who were tending their sheep when Angels of the Lord appeared telling them of the good News!

Day 20: "There were shepherds in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night." -Luke 2;8

The Twentieth Day of Advent

Loving God,

It is growing in my heart:

An awareness and gratitude of your constant love for me;

Like the sun rising in the East

to warm and comfort my life

and to bring new growth.

Thank you for these weeks of prayer. 

In the spirit of the season 

my waiting, my patience, 

feels sacred.

Bless my heart with generosity 

and make me ready to receive you.

Come, Lord Jesus!  Come!

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel 

Shall come to thee, O Israel!

Amen.

Ta, Ta for now!
