We wait with patience for the coming of the Lord, even as we rejoice at his presence among us: in word and holy supper, in church and in our homes, in silent reflection and in works of justice and love. We pray that God would open our eyes and ears to the wonders of Christ’s advent among us.’ READING: Isaiah 35:1-10 / PSALM 146:5-10 / GOSPEL Matthew 11:2-11
