Word for Monday December 23. St. John of Kanty, Priest.

“When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the
Lord had shown his great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her…they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said in reply ‘No. He will be called John.” Luke 1:57-60. Pope St. John Paul II said, “In God’s plan, nothing happens by chance.” Let us pray, My God, You are trustworthy. We believe You can do anything, though we don’t understand
sometimes. Why did Elizabeth have to wait for old age to conceive? But it was Your plan, and all worked for Your glory. May we believe You in our own lives, may we trust Your plan for us, and wait upon You Lord, for You are never late. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
