Luke 1:59-60

“…they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father. But his mother said, “No! His name is to be John.”

Great joy – at last Elizabeth and Zechariah have a child. And he will be called John, ‘God is gracious’.

  • Reflections

    In these daily reflections during Advent we affirm that Christ has come to us, that he is truly present in the world today and that he will come again in awesome power. During this Advent season we celebrate God’s incarnation and we hold on to our hope in his future kingdom.

  • Our Redeemer

    God our redeemer, who prepared the Blessed Virgin Mary to be the mother of your Son; grant that, as she looked for his coming as our saviour, so we may be ready to greet him when he comes again as our judge; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever
