Advent Breath Prayer: Dec 25
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.’ So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. - Luke 2: 15-20
Inhale: " My pondering"
Exhale: "Heart"
Breathe in and breathe out God's Word throughout the day in short pauses.
Dear God, as we gather around family, friends, and cherished memories surround us with the fullness of your hope, peace, joy, and love. Thank you for the greatest gift of all that comes to us this day. The cries of a sweet child laying in a manger enter into the chaos of a weary world and gives us reason to rejoice for your Love indeed lives among us. O come, o come Emmanuel - the Word of God that we treasure and ponder in our hearts. Amen.
