A Reflection for the Fourth Sunday in Advent

 



It may be Christmas Eve, but it's also the fourth Sunday of Advent -- and Rev, Robert has recorded this sermon for this particular Sunday in Advent, and for this time and place. May it bless your day. 😊




He adds this prayer:

Blessed are you, Lord our God,
our eternal Father and David's king.
You have made our gladness greater and increased our joy
by sending to dwell among us
the Wonderful Counsellor, the Prince of Peace.
Born of Mary,
proclaimed to the shepherds,
and acknowledged to the ends of the earth,
your unconquered Sun of righteousness
enlightens our darkness and establishes freedom.
All glory in the highest be to you,
through Christ, the Son of your favour,
in the generous love of his Spirit,
this night and for ever and ever.   AMEN.
