Psalm 145
Praise to God because God cares for the oppressed and feeds all creation—God is praised everywhere.
Isaiah 12: 1-6 What’s Isaiah about?
Praise and thanks to God for restoring Jerusalem to greatness. Christians understand this is what God has done for all humanity in God’s arrival in the form of a human in Jesus.
Luke 2: 22-40 What’s Luke about?
Although this is boxing day, we skip forward a week to Jesus’ circumcision and to the ritual cleansing of Mary. A holy man and a holy woman affirm Jesus’ significance and Jesus is taken home to grow into adulthood in the normal way.
This week’s collect:
O God our Father,
whose Word has come among us
in the Holy Child of Bethlehem,
may the light of faith
illumine our hearts
and shine in our words and deeds;
through him who is Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
