"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which Is Christ The Lord"
(Luke 2:11)

 

Happy New Year And a Merry Christmas
LIGHT SHONE OUT OF MARY
The Church sings, "God is light, dwells in light, and is praised by angels of light. Light shone out of Mary, Elizabeth gave birth gave birth to the Baptist." The Holy Spirit awoke David saying, "Arise and sing for the Light has shone." David sang. He took his spiritual harp and went to the church --house of the angels - and sang to the Holy Trinity, "With Your light O Lord, we see the light. Let Your mercy be to all who know you. O the true light who shines over everybody that comes into the world! You saved our father Adam from temptation, delivered our mother Eve from the pangs of death, and granted us to be Your children. We -- with the angels -- praise You and glorify You. Truly You are blessed O Christ our Lord with your Good Father and the Holy Spirit for You came and saved us. You may notice that the Church quoted a part of this hymn in the Matins prayer, so that the spirits may rise with the body and the light of God may shine within our hearts together with daylight.
NOW ....
Dear Friend,
Lord Jesus shone
with light for your life
with a lamp for your way
with the sun of righteousness
to cure you of all spiritual diseases
Come to the Lord!
Link up your life to Him!
He is the true life
He is the everlasting happiness
He is the light
He makes out of you light
He is the Sun
He makes you as pure as the sun
Will you accept Him?
Come to a quite time with him,
Then with your spiritual father!
God Bless You!
