Luke 1: 69-79
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
for he has visited and brought redemption to his people.
He has raised up a horn for our salvation
within the house of David his servant,
even as he promised through the mouth
of his holy prophets from of old:
salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us,
to show mercy to our fathers
and to be mindful of his holy covenant
and of the oath he swore to Abraham our father,
and to grant us that,
rescued from the hand of enemies,
without fear we might worship him
in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
to give his people knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God
by which the daybreak from on high will visit us
to shine on those who sit in darkness and death's shadow,
to guide our feet into the path of peace."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for one life to be saved from an abortion today.
Today in The Church is the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary.
"To comfort the afflicted"
The psalm response of The Church today is the Canticle of Zechariah. His canticle talks about John the Baptist and how he would comfort the sorrowful. How would he comfort the sorrowful?
He heralded the coming of Christ.
We are all prophets and we are all called to do the same to "comfort the afflicted." It is our responsibility, as Christians, to reveal God's love to others, and through our prophecy, truly love our neighbors.
Pray this prayer today and think about your calling as a priest, prophet and king through your baptism. Pray this prayer today and give thanks for the Lord has "come to His people and set them free." Take care and God Bless.
