Reflections on Advent 2013: Tuesday, December 24 Christmas Eve

Theme of Fourth Week of Advent: Peace

Daily Scripture:
Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.  Awaken your might; come and save us.  Restore us, O God; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.  O Lord God Almighty, how long will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?  You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.  You have made us a source of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.  Restore us, O God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.  Your brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.  You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.  The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.  Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of may you have raised up for yourself.  Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call your name.  Restore us, O Lord God Almighty; make us your face shine upon us, that we might be saved. - Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19
 
Reflection:
