Reading - Isaiah 35:1-2
The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God.
Reflection
When Christ comes again, all creation will be renewed. How exciting! What is your favourite thing that God has created?
Prayer
Thank you Lord for the coming of Christ, one of the greatest gifts you have given us. Help us this Advent season to wait in joyful anticipation. Amen.
