O Come, O come, Emmanuel !



 
O come, o come, Emmanuel.
Emmanuel - God-with-us - come quickly and do not delay.



May we feel the closeness of God-with-us in our hearts and lives this Christmas time.

May we find some measure of the peace and joy that the Christ-child's coming brings to troubled, sad humanity.

If circumstances are far from ideal, may we remember that the first Christmas was full of the messiness and upheaval of human life too.

Whatever our Christmas brings, may we find comfort in the knowledge that God knows first-hand our reality and God chose to be part of it and with us in it all, in the mess as much as in the joys.



O come, o come, Emmanuel.
Emmanuel - God-with-us - come quickly and do not delay.
