THERE IS NO OTHER (12-15-12)


Isaiah 45:22
Turn to me and be safe, all you ends of the earth, for I am God; there is no other!

In the Philippines, as in some other places around the world, tomorrow morning is the start of the Midnight (or early morning) masses called “Simbang Gabi”.  And for the next nine (9) days, a daily novena will be offered as we prepare for the celebration of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is our God and there is no other.  He is worthy of our praise.

Lord Jesus, You are the way, the truth and the life.  As the celebration of Your nativity draws near, may we continuously prepare our hearts to fully accept You as our Lord and our King. 

And as we wait for Your glorious second coming, may we continuously prepare ourselves, through Your mercy and grace, to join You in eternal life.

Oh Lord, we are Your workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which You prepared beforehand. 

This Christmas, may we let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave us.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, blessed are we, because we have known You!  Blessed are we, because we have believed in You!  Blessed are we, because we bear Your wounds and the sign of Your Blood on our contenances!  Blessed are we, because You are our great hope!  Blessed are we, because You are our God forever, and there is no other!  Amen +

I will hear what God proclaims…
