ADVENT REFLECTION

 

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

 

From the prophet Jeremiah 33:14-16

 

The days are coming, says the LORD,

when I will fulfill the promise

I made to the house of Israel and Judah.

In those days, in that time,

I will raise up for David a just shoot;

he shall do what is right and just in the land.

In those days Judah shall be safe

and Jerusalem shall dwell secure;

this is what they shall call her:

“The LORD our justice.”
