Advent Devotional for Sunday, December 19
Luke 1:46b-55
We see the stars and say What lights!
We hear the lark and say What song!
But Mary heeds the angel’s word,
Becomes the mother of our God.
O great is the spark that gave us life
And great is the hand that guides our ways.
But greater the life in Mary’s womb,
the child who comes to save his people.
Yes, greater the power that remembers the poor,
the God who sends us Jesus Christ.
O sisters, brothers, all: Amen!
Now magnify the Lord: Amen!
Sing Mary’s song of praise: Amen!
Lord God, to knit earth and heaven together your servant Mary became the mother of our Lord. With Mary and all the saints we thank and praise you for your saving presence in Jesus Christ. Amen.
