NEAR
December 22, 2023
Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
Isaiah 55:6
Thought
God came to be with His people, coming down to our level and He had come to stay because He loves us. (Rina Rosario)
Song
"Go Tell It On The Mountain"
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
1. While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
2. Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Prayer
Holy Father, the blessed season of Christmas is near, and I am looking forward to celebrate when Jesus arrived in Bethlehem. Like the Shepherds who left the manger, let me boldly share the Good News that the promised Redeemer is among us in love and will never leave nor forsake us. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
