Phillips: God with us

    Advent I
    Feast of Andrew the Apostle
Meditation:
    And this was [John’s] message: “After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
