Hope,
Mark 1:2-8
"As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,
‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way;
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight” ’,

Prayer
God of peace
Help us to celebrate the birth of your son
with joy and wonder
and find as we do
the life and light that is your gift
to us and the world you love
Amen.
