19 December

You will have joy and gladness.
And many will rejoice at his birth.
We need to be content with less.
Rather than plenty, there is always occasional dearth.Zechariah had given up hope .
Elizabeth expected no more.
But Gabriel the angel told him there was hope.
A new child, a new more hopeful shore.

Not much may happen.
Our lives may be in a groove.
But something new will gladden.
We have nothing to prove.

But we must say yes , accept every crumb.
Or like Zechariah we might be struck dumb.

……

Your joy and gladness
Will come from then from your rebirth
For it is promised

……

O radix Iesse
Qui  stas in signum populorum
Super quem continebunt  reges os suum

See Luke 1: 5-25
