Fourth Monday of Advent

12/21, Fourth Monday of Advent

The Lord and Ruler will be coming soon,
and his name will be called Emmanuel,
because he will be God-with-us.

Do we ever stop to think about the true meaning of Emmanuel, God-with-us?  That God came lowered Himself, taking the body of a man, to live with us?  That He was like us in all things save sin?  What an immense concept!  So difficult to truly comprehend all that that means.  But that is what we are anticipating this week.  God came to be with us, and He will again.

O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:

come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
