The Seventh Day of Christmas – A Prayerful Meditation on the Twelve Days of Christmas – Discerning Hearts Podcast

Summary: <br> “On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Seven Swans A Swimming …” <br> representing the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: prophecy, ministry, teaching, exhortation, giving, leading, and compassion or the seven sacraments: baptism, confirmation, penance, Eucharist, marriage, anointing of the sick, and holy orders. This is a day of new beginning, seven is the number of finality and we finish the old year and begin anew this day.<br> Prayer: Lord, examine our hearts today, let us come to You as anew, pure as the snow of the season. Show us our conscience, help us take Your words to heart, and make a new beginning. Lord, let this season of birth be a new birth in me. Amen <br> <br> <br> Text gratefully found at<br> <a href="http://www.viarosa.com/">Via Rosa Rosaries, Devotional Chaplets, Rosary Beads, and Catholic Gifts</a><br> entitled A Christian meditation on the Twelve Days of Christmas<br> Copyright © 2005-2006 <br> <br>
