Into the Fire

"And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the

     Most High;

 for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way

     for him;

to give his people the knowledge of salvation

     through the forgiveness of their sins,

because of the tender mercy of our God,

     by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven

to shine on those living in darkness

     and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet into the path of peace."

Luke 1:76-79 (NIV)
