Jeremiah 23:5-8; Psalm 72: 1-2, 12-18, 18-10; Matthew 1:18-25

letting go
of fear
we receive
new life
in the Holy Spirit
of God’s glory
seeking
our consent
we pray
for the courage
to say yes
to God’s justice…
that God’s love
of all
may flourish
rescuing the poor
when they cry out
and the afflicted
when they have no one to help

Can you let go of your fear?
Do you see justice as God’s love of all?
