Flandreau: the foreshadowing
Advent IV Christmas Eve
Meditation:
Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.—Luke 2:19 (NIV)
Quotation:
The Mother sits by the rough-hewn byrewhere her Baby smiles, and the secret fireshines on her face. Her hand rests byan iron spike from the wood thrust high(“The nails in His hands!”)
An open chink in the rude, cold shedlets in the sky, and the Star that ledshepherds and kings pours down its light:a silver shaft through the frosty night(“The spear in His side!”)
Her hands reach out, as to push awaythe cross-crowned hill and the bloody day;they touch a rough, unyielding wall:the stable side, of stone piled tall(“The stone—rolled away!”)... Alexander Flandreau (1919-2015)See also Luke 2:19; Matt. 1:20-21; 1:9-11; 28:2; Mark 15:22-24; Luke 24:25-26; Heb. 4:2 Quiet time reflection:Lord, have mercy on us, who had no mercy on You.
