Friday of Christmas Week

Friday December 31, 2021 Jesse Tree- Angels Psalm 96: 1-2

Out last Jesse Tree symbol is angels. The Psalmist tells us to sing a new song to the Lord. The refrain is “Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad.” A new song was sung by the angels on Christmas: “Glory to God!” And down the ages, recorded in both the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Scriptures, angels have announced joyful tidings. Angels also have been guides (see the book of Tobit), given warnings, and instilled confidence.  As God’s messengers, they are at work today, too. We just don’t always recognize them. Pay attention for messages from God that may come from an unlikely source. Then rejoice and sing a new song.

A note to all: I’ve enjoyed this walk through Advent and Christmas week with you. I hope my musings have somehow enriched your preparation.  God bless you, and I’ll see you for Lent.
