Listen: "Behold the Mountain of the Lord” from Very God, Godfrey Birtill

Read: Psalm 18, Isaiah 2:12–22, 1 Thessalonians 3:1–13, Luke 20:27–40

Pray: "Dear Father in heaven, we rejoice that you are our Father. We rejoice that you rule and guide each of us so that our path in life leads to what is good and genuine and we do not get stuck in this or that concern. Lead us, renew us, and again and again free us to go forward, finding new courage and joy for ourselves and for our fellowmen. Then we can praise you, your strength and power can be revealed to us, your heaven come down to earth, and your will be done on earth. Here on earth your help shall come to the poor, the weak, the lowly, the sick, and the suffering. May your name be praised! We rejoice in your name. Amen.” (source)
