Advent Readings and Prayersနမူနာ

## The Second Sunday in Advent The second Sunday readings remind us of how Christ came in humility—to an ordinary place, in a stable of animals, among an ordinary people. This is a time to remember how Christ fully identifies with humanity in the incarnation. ### Prayer Blessed Lord, who has caused all the Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning, grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of Your holy Word, we may embrace, and ever hold fast, the blessed hope of everlasting life, which You have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
