Station Ten, The Angels Announce Jesus' Birth to the Shepherds
Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: " Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." Luke 2:8-14
Prayer
Dear God, it must have been an awesome sight, the multitude of angels in the sky. Keep my eyes open to the wonders of your creation and help me to believe in what seems impossible. Open my ears so that I may hear your call and invitation to find Jesus in the most unlikely places in my life.
