Advent

Watch, for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or  in the morning, lest he come suddenly and find you asleep.

In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Christmas

Behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of  David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Behold, the dwelling of God is with mankind. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will  be with them, and be their God.
