Advent - Week Three

Luke 19:1-10

“You were always present, angry and merciful at once, strewing the pangs of bitterness over all my lawless pleasures to lead me on to look for others unallied with pain.” - Augustine

“Your goad was thrusting at my heart, giving me no peace until the eye of my soul could discern you without mistake.” - Augustine

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11

And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:21

And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43

…who for us and for our salvation

came down from heaven,

and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary,

and was made man;

and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered and was buried;

and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures,

and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father;

and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead;

whose kingdom shall have no end.

“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” - Augustine
