Come, see - and BEHOLD

"Behold, the Lamb of God"~ John 1:35b

 

 

 

The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples; and he looked at Jesus as He walked; and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”  The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.  Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What do you seek?”  And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”  He said to them, “Come and see.”  They came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day… John 1:35-39

Christmas Anticipation Prayer

Beginning on St. Andrew's Feast Day, November 30, the following prayer is traditionally recited fifteen times a day until Christmas. This is a beautifully meditative prayer that helps us increase our awareness of the real focus of Christmas and helps us prepare ourselves spiritually for His coming.

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, [here mention your request] through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother.  Amen.
