For He has come to His people and set them free

“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; for he has come to his people and set them free. He has raised up for us a mighty Savior, born of the house of his servant David.” (LK 1: 68-69)

What is more important than the message that God is coming to us because we are His people, because we are important to Him and because He knows everything about our wounds and slavery and is coming “to set us free.” He knows because He came as a man, “born of the house of his servant David,” and “has raised up for us a mighty Savior.”

“O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come and shine on those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death.” (Gospel Acclamation)
