“In other words, fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (chapter 4), cited by yours truly in the morning sermon

In the ACNA Cycle of Prayer, today we pray for the Province of Sudan and the Most Rev. Ezekiel Kondo, Archbishop; and for the Province of South Sudan and The Rt. Rev. Justin Arama,
Archbishop, and his wife, Joyce.

Almighty Father, we pray that they may be faithful witnesses for Jesus Christ and empowered
by your Holy Spirit to serve you in the world.

Almighty God,
in the birth of your Son
you have poured on us the new light of your incarnate Word,
and shown us the fullness of your love:
help us to walk in his light and dwell in his love
that we may know the fullness of his joy;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me!

–Psalm 66:20

✨ A remarkable boy child was born on this day, a long time ago. His legacy grew after his death through his pupils. He painted this Adoration of the Magi, depicting his most famous fellow Christmas child. His name? Abraham Bloemaert.
A merry and blessed Christmas to you all! 🎄 pic.twitter.com/ZHTUYLrOsw
