Using the book: Holy is His Name: Daily Devotions for Advent (by Elis Hiu-Mei Lui)

The first two chapters of the Gospel of Luke offer four songs, also known as canticles, as companions for the journey through Advent to Christ's birth. Starting with the beloved canticle, the Magnificat, these daily devotions explore the hope, peace, and liberation promised to us all. In this season of Advent, sing and pray these words of joy and proclaim that indeed, holy is his name.
