But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.
God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.
Galatians 4:4,5
Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord, who have no confidence in the proud or in those who worship idols.
Psalm 40:4
Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place - until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.
2 Peter 1:19
Bright morning Star, you left the heavenly realm and came to show us our Father's abundant love and mercy. Turn our faces and our hearts to your light so it may shine within us to gather others to you. Amen.
