The story of the incarnation of the son of God gives us a rich selection of imagery. Each image evokes a world of meaning. Consider the following as you enter into prayer today:

Bethlehem, the City of David.
Shepherds. Wise men.
Herod.
A Manger.
Mary.
Joesph.
Gabriel.
Elizabeth. Zechariah.
Light. A Star. An Angel Chorus.

God, may the story of your arrival in Bethlehem, sharpen our anticipation of your return!
