Season of Advent O Cornerstone
O Keystone of the Arch, holding in your being the opposites of your creation, come and give us courage in our bearing and in our striving. Jim Cotter ‘Cries of Advent’ No 9. From Prayer in the Morning, Cairns Publications 1989. A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, the spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, t h e spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11: 1-2 This week we pray for Anglicans in Nigeria. With 60% of its population living in extreme poverty and 40% under 14 years old there is much for Mothers’ Union to do, guided by the mission and loving concern of Jesus for all the lost and broken. |
