In one of the most beautiful canticles in the New Testament, one which finds a place daily in the Official Prayer of the Church, Lauds, Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, loosed from his nine month muteness, sings the praises of God, his merciful and loving care and a a mighty savior who sets people free sin. He sings of his son, John, who will prepare the way for the Savior. (cf. Lk 1:67-79). Take time to pray this poetic canticle slowly with Zechariah, even commit it to memory so that it becomes part of your every day prayer and thinking. This is the story of our salvation in 12 verses, a fitting gift on which to ruminate the day before Christmas.
