“Prepare the way O Zion, your Christ is drawing near, let every hill and valley a level way appear; greet one who comes in glory, foretold in sacred story, O blest is Christ that came, in Jesus holy name.”

Heavenly Father, we have heard your messengers’ warnings, to prepare the way, to make straight the path for you. But are we listening, are we prepared to meet our Savior? Lord, pour light upon us from above, and fill our hearts with ardent love, that as we hear the truth today, all wrong desires may burn away. Amen!
