O Holy Night - Rizzo, Marian

. .

Résumé :
O Holy Night. We sing the lyrics. We love the music. But are we merely mouthing empty words and vain repetitions? Are we just humming the tune? Or do we honestly think about the underlying message? If we pay attention to what the lyrics are saying and concentrate on them in a worshipful attitude, the song takes on a whole new meaning. This 25-day devotional leads readers through the beloved Christmas carol's inspiring lyrics, and encourages a sense of wonder, awe, and reverence during the holy season leading up to Christmas day, but is equally effective any time of year.
