The Lord himself will give you a sign. The young woman shall bear a son and name him Immanuel.
Thank you, loving God, that you know my name, that you know me and love me for who I am.
Amen
Reflection of the week
In the Hebrew Bible, children were often given names to reflect current events. The sign of Immanuel is not simply about peace and security. The sign of 'God-with-us' is also a sign of warning about what can happen when God really is present.
Live in faith
Each evening, pray for everyone you have met during the day. Remember their names and thank God for them.
