Readings for Celebrating Advent

⁶ For to us a child is born.
To us a son is given.
The authority to rule will rest on his shoulders.
He will be named:
    Wonderful Counselor,
    Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father,
    Prince of Peace.
⁷ There will be no limit to his authority
and no end to the peace he brings.
He will rule on David’s throne and over his kingdom,
    to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
    from now on, into eternity.
The zeal of the Lord of Armies will accomplish this.
