Listen for Advent
Tell us what you think and receive 10% discount. Thursday’s Reflection
HOLY OBEDIENCE,
companion of trust,
enemy of fear;
undesired yet longed for;
resistible but irreplaceable.
You who cause ears to turn deadly deaf,
and, at once,
bring life to its grateful knees.
Come, O Obedience,
join us with the angels to listen for God’s Advent
that we may hear our way.
Amen.
