19th December: O Root of Jesse

Today we remember the Root of Jesse.  In readings from Isaiah we are reminded of Jesus' ancestors and family tree, how he was from the House of David. This is an ideal time for us to think about what our grandparents and and own ancestors have given to us, in this year of faith we might thank them for what they have taught us about Jesus. For ideas of praying the O root of Jesse with children click here for last year's post.


O root of Jesse
Alleliua, Alleliua
Root of Jesse, set up as a sign to the peoples,
come to save us 
and delay no more
Alleliua
