Today we celebrate the 2nd Day of Christmas. Two Turtle Doves. The Old and New Testaments are filled with references to doves. Two Turtle Doves represent the binding of two Books. The Old Testament lay the groundwork for the New Covenant between man and his maker.
On this the 2nd Day of Christmas, let us give thanks and prayer for the promise of salvation for all.
Heavenly Father, you came to earth through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank you. Through our Covenant, may we grow in our intimate relationship with You, our creator.
Let us bear witness to the goodness of God now and forever. Amen.
Today is also the final day of Hanukah. The Jewish People were God’s first children. The Gentiles are reconciled to the God of Abraham through Baptism. We are one people. Halleluiah. Glory be to God now and forever.
For a Child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6-7
For Christ himself has brought us peace by making Jews and Gentiles one people. With His own body He broke down the wall the separated them and kept them enemies.
Ephesians 2:14
A simple meal can be humble yet flavorful. What can be more simple than meat and potatoes? Especially when those are slow cooked together in a single pot? For our 2nd Day of Christmas, this straight forward dish sure hit the spot.
Have a Blessed Christmas Season one and all!
