THE MAIDEN WITH CHILD

The Lord spoke to Ahaz and said, 'Ask the Lord your God for a sign
for yourself coming either from the depths of sheol or from above.'
'No' Ahaz answered 'I will not put the Lord to the test.'
Then Isaiah said:
'Listen now, House of David:
are you not satisfied with trying the patience of men
without trying the patience of my God, too?
The Lord himself, therefore, will give you a sign.
Itis this: the maiden is with child and will soon give
birth to a son whom she will call immanuel,
a name which means "God is with us."

From creation you have loved humanity, your plan
to save humanity from self-destruction and the
universe based on man's action you sent your
Son born of women, whom the prophesy foretold
long ago was fulfilled.

Thank you for your Son a promise that you will
remain with us.  Till date your love never departed
from us. Thank you for sending us Immanuel.
JESUS be with me, guide me may I follow your
teaching.
