Episode 071 :: An Overlooked Christmas Prayer Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

On the Christmas 2020 Episode we explore an overlooked Christmas Prayer. Historically and traditionally there have been three prayers (or canticles) surrounding the Christmas Story; The Magnificat, The Benedictus and The Nunc Dimittis. But there is another prayer tucked into Luke’s gospel around the Christmas story; one that does not get much attention. But if we pay close attention, it has the power to teach us something foundational. Enjoy!
