ISAIAH
December 13

Symbols: Burning Coal

Isaiah's lips were impure from sin, and he realized this imperfection. Yet, he trusted the Lord to purify him. One of the seraphim, in a symbolic action, took a coal from the altar and touched his lips to cleanse them. Isaiah became a great prophet for the Lord, proclaiming the coming of a Messiah that would be a king, but also a suffering servant.

Recommended Readings: Isaiah 6:5-8; 40:10-11; 62:1-3

THE ANNUNCIATION
December 14

Symbols: Lily

Of Jesse's lineage was the Virgin Mary. Into her chamber came the Spirit of the Most High.

That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, in the dispensation of the fullness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him. —Eph. 1:9-10

V. The angel of the Lord brought the message to Mary.

R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

The lily is a symbol of Our Lady's purity, though becoming a mother she remained a virgin.

Recommended Readings: Luke 1:26-38
