Christmas is coming! That news may conjure mixed emotions for many of us as adults, but for the original hearers it was overwhelmingly wonderful news. When joy erupts in our lives that strongly, it often spills out of us in other ways. (There's a reason stores and radio stations start playing certain songs.) Repeatedly in the Gospel of Luke, the response was spontaneous songs of joy - from Zechariah, Mary, the angels and even Simeon. For the next four weeks, as we prepare to celebrate the Incarnation, we're going to reflect on the joy that led them to erupt in hymns of joy and deliverance. We begin this week with the Benedictus: "The Songs of Advent: Zechariah" (Luke 1:67-80).

November 23, 2025: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard.  Amen. For some, this is a day called Christ the King Sunday, but as I say every year, that is not a title he would have ever claimed.  As we heard in the Gospel, it was a title given to him by the oppressors who crucified him.  No, Jesus would not be happy with this King business I believe, Jesus is Lord is enough, and was for centuries for his followers, as Christ the King wasn't even a thing until 1925.  So, not Christ the King…but it is Advent. And we have practiced the original seven week Advent here at Christ Church since 2016, and as then, it seems so appropriate now, because Advent is about a people walking in darkness, but not a people without hope. The people are in crisis.  Many live in fear.  The country is divided against itself.  People don't know which way to turn, how to take the next step, what to do, because the leaders have failed them.  Certainly, this sounds like it is a time of darkness, and even very familiar – but I am not talking about the events in this country, at least not yet. I am talking about the passage in Jeremiah we heard this morning.  If you were in doubt about whether Advent, from a lectionary point of view, is seven weeks long, just look again at our reading today from Jeremiah and the Canticle. Jeremiah begins with a stern warning from God for those in power that because they have abused their people, because they have not care for their flock, they will meet with God's wrath.  Jeremiah had been speaking about the failure of leaders in the time of the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 587 bce.  And the passage ends with a very Advent-y verse “The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch…” God clearly was not happy with the shepherds who failed their sheep. One of the things that our faith, our scriptures, make abundantly clear, is the importance of shepherds.  And being a shepherd is about never forgetting that the focus of your work must always be on the welfare of the sheep. This is true, not only for those who watch over flocks, but for all kinds of leadership positions – from President to parent, from CEOs to church leaders.  We don't have to have lived in the Ancient Near East to understand what can happen when shepherds fail in their work.   We have borne witness to this in our lifetimes. Today, we can certainly understand what it must have felt like back in the days of Jeremiah to be a people divided, scattered, fearful of our leaders, and not sure what tomorrow will bring.  Our own nation's leaders have not only failed to be good shepherds, it is far worse than that.  They have actually turned on the sheep.  Our country – once a beacon of freedom and democracy to the world – has entered into the dark shadows of oligarchy and systemic oppression. The President has put masked troops in the street shooting tear gas and pepper balls into crowds of citizens, and callously throwing people, including clergy, onto the pavement – arresting them for the crime of free speech.  He is responsible for the execution of over 80 people without due process of law through drone strikes on boats in international waters.  He has had thousands detained, including zip tying children (let that sink in), again without due process of law, and even deported many of them to foreign prisons notorious for their human rights abuses.  He has dismissed the concern of over a thousand female victims of a child sex predator to protect his own hide, calling their abuse a hoax.  And his government has stolen affordable access to healthcare for the poor to give money in tax breaks to the rich and powerful. And while some may feel this is less important – it goes to his misogyny and eroding of the freedom of the press – the silencing of those who courageously try to protect the flock from predators.  He told one woman reporter who dared ask him a question, “Quiet Piggy!”  Then he held a meeting at the White House with Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, known for his brutality, including the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a US citizen, by having him chopped up while still alive.  When the President was asked about meeting with him by another reporter (also a woman) he called her “insubordinate.”  Insubordinate – as though he is a king who cannot be questioned.  And to another who asked directly about the murder of Khashoggi, he said “A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen.”  Things happen?  Sure, a guy walks into a bathroom and things like a bone saw just kinda happen to him. Seriously.  You can't make this stuff up.  These are dark days we find ourselves walking in, to be sure. And it could make anyone feel like just pulling the covers over their heads and praying that things will change.  That perhaps new leaders will emerge and make everything better in some distant future.  But, that would be like reading only parts of this passage from Jeremiah – the beginning condemnation of the current leaders in the first two verses, and the promise of a new leader in the final verses, when what we need most to pay attention to today is everything in between. Because if we focus only on the current predicament, and the hope of new leadership, we miss what God intends for us, and it is something so very needed now. After condemning the current leaders, God then says “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock, and…I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing.”  God declares “I will raise up shepherds…”  Well, guess where God gets those new shepherds?  From right within the flock!  God intends to call from among the sheep new shepherds. As one commentator noted, “While [Jeremiah] opens with judgment and closes with a promise of a future leader who will save and protect the people, the larger book of Jeremiah does not let us — the people — off the hook as we wait.” So, both sheep and shepherds have responsibilities to the full flock.  Everyone has a role to play, especially when we talk about our lives in Christ.  Some are called to a dedicated shepherd role.  Bishops are the shepherds for a diocese and Deacons assist in that work.  Priests are the shepherds for a parish or other type of faith community.  But what about the laity, the sheep?  Well, that's what we hear about in the Song of Zachariah, the canticle, or for Latin nerds, the Benedictus, chanted so beautifully this morning by our choir.  Zachariah, after the miraculous birth of his son John by his wife Elizabeth, had a lot to say.  Now, you can understand why when we remember what the angel Gabriel did to him before this.  See, back about nine months earlier, Zach was a priest, and it was his turn to serve in the temple.  This was not an every week thing.  There were a lot of them, and so maybe this was his one shot a year.  So, he's back there doing his priestly work, burning some incense, as you do, when the angel Gabe pops in to tell him “Hey Zach!  You and Liz are gonna have a baby!  You will call him John, and he will be a great prophet, who will proclaim the coming of the Lord.” Now, Zach was a bit skeptical, after all, he and Liz were getting on in years.  So, he says “Seriously?  How is that gonna happen?  My wife and I are already on Medicare for crying out loud.”  Gabe was not pleased.  “I am Gabriel – the best messenger God has!  I came all this way to give you this awesome news and you doubt me?”  Knowing priests love to talk, he made Zach mute until the baby was born.  Which tells you that if an angel appears, even in flames like the movie Dogma, keep your doubts to yourself. So, as we know now, Liz did get pregnant.  Her cousin Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to visit her, etc.  Fast forward to today's passage, and that baby was just born.  Zach's mouth was opened, and he wasn't holding back.  He told all that had gathered to celebrate this birth what this miracle child would do.  He told them that salvation was coming for all of them, and that John would be called a prophet, and prepare the way for the coming of Christ.  That's a lot right there for this newborn.  But there's more.  John's prophetic witness would shine light “…on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.” This prophet John, through his witness in the world, would give light where there is darkness, and guide others toward peace.  John would be a great prophet of God in a time of deep darkness.  He was also an example to us all, most especially now. John, a sheep of God's flock, was made for such a time as he lived.  And you know what? So are you.  So is every single one of you. It is in times such as when John was born, such as what we are experiencing now, that light is needed most within the shadows of despair, longing, fear, and hate.  And that is when God raises up prophets to carry the light of hope and love into a world of darkness and discord.  While it is true that some will do this in particular calls to ordained life – all of us are called to be John – to be the prophets that guide others to the way of peace.  And if you think about it, there is a shepherding quality to prophet work, right? If you are guiding others, you are a shepherd.  And in the church, as all are part of the priesthood of all believers, so each of you is called to be both sheep and shepherd.  That is our life as a part of the flock of God, most especially when the flock – the people of God, and the creation in which we dwell – are in danger, are being hurt, are living in fear.  Folks, is it clear that we are in Advent – both in the church and in the world.  And God is looking for prophets, for shepherds, to listen, to lead, and to love.  Forget looking to someone else to do it – look in the mirror instead. Because God is calling you – here, now. In Advent most of all, we know that in the darkest of times, the light will always come.  But it is up to each of us, following where the Holy Spirit leads, to be that light too – to be Christ's light shining in the world.  And one way we do that is by what we will do here today.  Later in this service, each of you will bring forward food for the those in need and your pledge cards – a commitment to stewardship of this place, out of which we bring the gospel message of hope to a world in need, and in which we are given restoration for our souls as we do this prophetic work of being shepherds in the world.  The food, for both humans and animals, is our commitment to caring for the folk of God. The pledges are a commitment to be the prophet our Creator needs today, and proclaim from the highest hills, and the lowest valleys, that God loves everyone – no exceptions.  They are a pledge to be the shepherd of a people who are lost, alone, or living in fear. They are a step in the longer journey of our life, and in the long history of shepherds and prophets of God. Long ago, God, through the prophet Jeremiah, lamented those called to be shepherds who failed their flock, who failed in God's mission and call for them, and declared that other shepherds would be raised up instead.  And they were to the hope of all creation. Long ago, John was born with a call to prepare the way for the One who would bring light into the world.  Today, we are the ones that God has raised up – born in baptism – not to prepare the way, but to be the way – to guide others, by the light of Christ shining in us and through us, into the path of peace. To be both the sheep of God's pasture, and the shepherd of others.  These are dark and dangerous times, and this will not be easy work.  And, so I want to leave you with these words of a 13th century woman who heard her own call to be a shepherd.  She cast aside all she knew and left the wealthy life of her noble birth to follow Christ.  She was Clare of Assisi, who started the monastic order known as the Poor Clares.  On her deathbed, St. Clare offered this blessing – words that still ring out through the centuries, serving as a reminder that we never do this work alone.  Christ is always our partner in our call.  And so I offer them now to you to take into your heart as you leave here today to be the shepherds, the prophets, who light the way and guide others into the path of peace, the ones God calls for the sake of the world: “Live without fear: your Creator has made you whole, always walks with you, and loves you as a mother. So, follow the good road in peace, and may God's blessing remain with you always.” Amen.

Join Rolf Jacobson, Caroline Lewis, and Matt Skinner for Sermon Brainwave as they explore the texts for Christ the King/Reign of Christ Sunday (November 23, 2025) - the final Sunday of the church year and Year C. In this episode, the hosts dive deep into what it means for Jesus to be called "king" and how we understand Christ's reign in a world unfamiliar with monarchies. They examine the Gospel reading from Luke 23:33-43, where Jesus is crucified alongside two criminals, asking: What kind of king is this? A crucified king who sees those we overlook and extends mercy to the marginalized. The conversation also explores Jeremiah 23:1-6 and its promise of a righteous shepherd-king who will execute justice, Luke 1:68-79 (Zechariah's Benedictus) and how it bookends the liturgical year, and Colossians 1:11-20's cosmic vision of Christ's reign. Key themes include: * Unpacking the language of "king," "lord," and "reign" for contemporary contexts * The contrast between earthly kingdoms and the kingdom of God * How Christ's reign is realized person by person through tender mercy * The significance of Jesus riding a donkey as a symbol of peace, not war * God's faithfulness in keeping promises to God's people This episode invites preachers and listeners to reimagine citizenship in Christ's kingdom and what it means to live under a reign marked by justice, righteousness, and mercy.

Vallen we uit elkaar zonder gedeelde taal voor het hogere, of kunnen we elkaar vinden in een symbool dat ruimte laat voor verschil? We gaan met Roelof de diepte in over de Opperbouwmeester des Heelals (ObdH) en ontdekken hoe een abstract begrip de loge al eeuwenlang samenhoudt. Niet als dogma, maar als werkbare gemeenschappelijke noemer waar katholieken, protestanten, joden, deïsten en naturalisten elkaar treffen.We schetsen de woelige achtergrond: van scholastiek en Aristoteles' Onbewogen Beweger, via Descartes' radicale twijfel en zijn godsbewijzen, naar Spinoza's één substantie waarin God en natuur samenvallen. Ondertussen rukt de drukpers op, polariseert Europa, en worstelen kerk en kroon met een wereld die steeds rationeler wordt. Juist in die turbulentie ontstaat de vrijmetselarij als seculiere orde met rituele diepte, waarin de ObdH een elegante rol krijgt: rituele taal die betekenis geeft, zónder dat broeders elkaars dogma's hoeven te bestrijden. We verkennen ook de opkomst van het deïsme—God als klokkenmaker—en waarom Anderson's Constitutions (1723) bewust kiezen voor morele overeenstemming boven confessionele uniformiteit.Samen ontrafelen we waarom de toegangseis van een “hoger beginsel” geen theologische lakmoesproef is, maar een morele houding: een mens plaatst zichzelf niet als hoogste maat. De ObdH werkt dan als stille brug tussen overtuigingen, zodat het gesprek kan gaan over karakter, waarheid en maatschappelijke relevantie. Met heldere voorbeelden uit ritueel en comparitie laten we zien hoe een 18e-eeuws idee vandaag nog scherp en bruikbaar is—juist nu polarisatie lonkt en simpele antwoorden verleiden.Aristoteles - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/AristotelesDescartes - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_DescartesCoccejus - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_CoccejusSpinoza - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedictus_de_SpinozaDeïsme - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/De%C3%AFsmeSupport the show

El mayor acontecimiento en la historia humana y para los humanos

The Benedictus, or Canticle of Zechariah, is a prophetic hymn from Luke's Gospel, chanted daily at Lauds. In this deep dive, we unpack the Benedictus line by line, one of the longest and most theologically rich Latin Learning Guides we've produced. This canticle, spoken by Zechariah after regaining his voice, reveals a sweeping vision of salvation history: from Abraham's covenant to the coming Messiah. The Benedictus is not only a lyrical masterpiece but also a catechetical summary of God's mercy, covenant fidelity, and the dawning of redemption. Each Latin phrase is paired with memory hooks and etymological cues to help you or your children learn and reflect deeply. We'll explore the symbolic power of terms like "cornu salutis" (horn of salvation), "oriens ex alto" (the dawn from on high), and how Latin reveals the heart of Catholic theology. Whether you're praying the Divine Office or deepening your scriptural devotion, this episode offers clarity and context. Help us restore sacred tradition and bring timeless prayers to new ears.

Den nyligen avlidne påven Franciskus stod i skarp kontrast till sin föregångare Benedictus ifråga om stil. Vad signalerar påven med sina klädval? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I veckan påbörjas Vatikanens hemliga arbete med att utse en ny påve och i Samtal med Stil diskuterar Susanne Ljung och Samanda Ekman de två senaste påvarna, Franciskus och Benedictus, och deras inställning till kläder och stil.

Ruth Schneeberger, Friesenheim, Katholische Kirche: Scheinbar selbstverständliches, ein Schock und eine Überraschung.

His name, Benedictus, means "Blessed" in Latin. He was born in 480 in Nursia, a small town northeast of Rome. He had only rudimentary schooling: he wrote later of his fear that through book-learning he might 'lose the great understanding of my soul.' At an early age he fled to a monastery where he was tonsured; he then withdrew to a remote mountain, where he lived or several years in a cave, perfecting himself in prayer. His only food was some bread brought to him by Romanus, the monk who had tonsured him. When he became known in the area, he fled his cave to escape the attentions of the pious; but flight proved useless, and in time a community of monks formed around him. He was granted many spiritual gifts: he healed the sick and drove out evil spirits, raised the dead, and appeared in visions to others many miles away.   Benedict founded twelve monasteries, most famously that at Monte Cassino. Initially, each monastic house had twelve monks, to imitate the number of the Twelve Apostles. The Rule that he established for his monks was based on the works of St John Cassian and St Basil the Great, and became a standard for western monasteries. Thus he is sometimes called the first teacher of monks in the West.   Six days before his death, the Saint ordered that his grave be opened, gathered all his monks together, gave them counsel, then gave his soul back to God on the day that he had predicted. At the moment of his death, two monks in different places had the same vision: they saw a path from earth to heaven, richly adorned and lined on either side with ranks of people. At the top of the path stood a man, clothed in light and unspeakably beautiful, who told them that the path was prepared for Benedict, the beloved of God. In this way, the monks learned that their abbot had gone to his rest.

At the top of the path stood a man, clothed in light and unspeakably beautiful, who told them that the path was prepared for Benedict, the beloved of God. In this way, the monks learned that their abbot had gone to his rest.

«No solo recordamos el nacimiento de Jesús, lo hacemos vivo en nosotros».

34 Therefore behold I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:Ideo ecce ego mitto ad vos prophetas, et sapientes, et scribas, et ex illis occidetis, et crucifigetis, et ex eis flagellabitis in synagogis vestris, et persequemini de civitate in civitatem :  35 That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.ut veniat super vos omnis sanguis justus, qui effusus est super terram, a sanguine Abel justi usque ad sanguinem Zachariae, filii Barachiae, quem occidistis inter templum et altare.  36 Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.Amen dico vobis, venient haec omnia super generationem istam.  37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldest not?Jerusalem, Jerusalem, quae occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos, qui ad te missi sunt, quoties volui congregare filios tuos, quemadmodum gallina congregat pullos suos sub alas, et noluisti?  38 Behold, your house shall be left to you, desolate.Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta.  39 For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.Dico enim vobis, non me videbitis amodo, donec dicatis : Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini. Stephen, one of the seven Deacons, chosen by the Apostles amongst the most pious and holy disciples, to help them, received from them mission to organize the meals where the poor were fed in common. St Stephen was renowned for his virtues and worked such great signs and wonders among the people that the Jews from five different synagogues became alarmed and summoned him before the Sanhedrin. The Jews stoned this holy Deacon, who invoked our Lord, saying: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit... Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." His name is inscribed in the Canon of the Mass.

Songs sung around Christmas time are not a new phenomenon. In fact, there are two songs recorded in Scripture surrounding the birth of Christ: the Magnificat, spoken by Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the Benedictus, spoken by Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist.

Friends of the Rosary, Merry and Holy Christmas! Today, December 24, is Christmas Eve. We read in the Gospel (Luke 1:57-79) the Prayer of Zechariah at the birth of his son, John the Baptist. This prayer, precious to priests and all those who pray the Liturgy of the Hours, is called the “Canticle of Zechariah” or the “Benedictus.” It sums up the whole history of salvation, with the God of Israel, as Zechariah prays, “has come to his people and set them free.” “This is what God always wants to do. He hates the fact that we've become enslaved by sin and fear, and accordingly, he wants to liberate us. The central event of the Old Testament is an event of liberation from slavery. We are, as sinners, enslaved to our pride, our envy, our anger, our appetites, our greed, our lust—all of which wrap us up and keep us from being the people that we want to be,” Bishop Barron comments. God effects this liberation through the instrumentation of a mighty Savior. Today, the liturgy of Christmas Eve is consecrated to the arrival of the Savior. Throughout Advent, we have seen how the preparation for Jesus' coming. Isaiah, John the Baptist, and the Virgin Mother appeared throughout the season, announcing and foretelling the coming of the King. We learn today that Christ, according to His human nature, was born at Bethlehem of the House of David of the Virgin Mary. According to His divine nature, He is conceived of the Spirit of holiness, the Son of God, and the Second Person of the Trinity. Christmas Eve is an appropriate time for exchanging gifts after the Christ-Child has been placed in the manger, special prayers, Christmas carols, and Midnight Mass. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • December 24, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Meditación sobre el Evangelio y las oraciones de la misa matutina día 24 de diciembre. Zacarías exclama en alabanzas a Dios y pronuncia un cántico: el "Benedictus", que es un modelo, junto con el "Magnificat" de oración de alabanza. En este último día de Adviento también nosotros podemos alabar a Dios, y sprintar en nuestra preparación para llegar a la Nochebuena con el corazón en ascuas.

The circumcision of John the Baptist is probably not the first story that comes to mind when people think of Christmas. And yet, through this story we are invited to see the continued relevance of the gospel in our lives.

Pastor Anthony Hall | The Benedictus | Luke 1:67-79 The post The Benedictus – #severnonline appeared first on Severn Covenant Church.

Synopsis: Zechariah's prophecy has shaped the worship of Christians, East and West, for centuries. But the last we saw Zechariah, he was made mute for his unbelief. How did this disobedient priest come to write the words sung by millions of Christians over the last two millennia? Luke 1:57-66 describes how an old barren woman gives birth to the joy of the whole community. But the baby challenges the traditions of his people, and then repentant John is given both his voice and a divine voice of thanksgiving, shaping the worship of the Church of Jesus Christ. Sermon Text: Luke 1:57-80

The Song of Zechariah: The Benedictus (Luke 1:57-80)

After long months of pregnancy and hard hours of labor, old Elizabeth had her baby, and the whole town came over to celebrate. In a small village, any birth is a public event, but under these circumstances it was especially so. This child was to proclaim the coming of the Messiah and bring about the new covenant.
