The Sixth Day in the Octave of Christmas

“There was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.” -Luke 2:36-38

Many without knowledge of Christ are awaiting redemption, while few in the world, like Anna, are willing to come forward to speak of Him. Today, we all have the opportunity to be like Anna and tell someone about the Christ Child and what His coming means for our salvation. Be bold and unafraid to spread the Good News.

Merry Christmas!
