The Call to Prayer

Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp; I myself will waken the dawn. Psalm 57:8

The Request for Presence

O Lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on me. O Lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on me. O Lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world, grant me your peace. Agnus Dei

Scripture Passage

Isaiah 52:13-15; 53:1-12

Reflection

How does the passage capture Jesus’ first advent in details and images? For what reason does the passage say that Jesus was born to die?

The Prayer for the Week

Purify our conscience, Almighty God, by your daily visitation, that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
