Advent Word 2020, Day 25 ‘Holy’

Catherine Lee

#AdventWord #Holy My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. Mary sang in praise of God:And holy is his Name.Gracious God, what is our song,Now in this time of weeping?In our night of pain and grief,Faithful voices rise toward starry skies:In you, O Holy One, we put our trust.Can we find once more your promise of mercy?A new light shines in the darkness –Together, we wait and rejoice. The Nativity Scene here at Advent Church, Tamsui, Taipei Continue reading Advent Word 2020, Day 25 ‘Holy’
