Humbly Asking for Your Prayers

So sorry I got behind on my Jesse Tree. I am going to include the outline for the rest of the days til Christmas.
Please pray for my daughter. She will be having surgery on Tuesday to remove cervical cancer. Please pray for her complete healing and her fertility (she is 20).
Please pray for all of our family to trust in God without reservation.
Blessings to you and yours this Christmas.

In Christ,
Soutenus

ps) There are a few scheduled drafts set to post so I do have some new things ready to share.


On December 17, the Church begins to intensify the preparation for Christmas with the use of the "O" Antiphons during the Liturgy of the Hours. The symbols for the Jesse Tree from December 17 to 23 are based on the "O" Antiphons.

December 17 Jesus is Wisdom: Sirach (or Ecclesiasticus in old Bibles) 24:2; Wisdom 8:1 Symbols: oil lamp, open book

December 18 Jesus is Lord: Ex. 3:2; 20:1 Symbols: burning bush, stone tablets

December 19 Jesus is Flower of Jesse: Isaiah 11:1-3 Symbols: flower, plant with flower

December 20 Jesus is Key of David: Isaiah 22:22 Symbols: key, broken chains

December 21 Jesus is the Radiant Dawn: Psalm 19:6-7 (in older Bibles this will be Psalm 18) Symbols: sun rising or high in sky

December 22 Jesus is King of the Gentiles: Psalm 2:7-8; Ephesians 2:14-20 Symbols: crown, scepter

December 23 Jesus is Emmanuel: Isaiah 7:14; 33:22 Symbols: tablets of stone, chalice and host
