Advent Continues - Still, More than a Time of Waiting "The Lord is coming, always coming. When you have ears to hear and eyes to see, you will recognize him at any moment of your life. Life is Advent; life is recognizing the coming of the Lord." (Henri Nouwen) "As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him." (Luke 3:4) “Let Every heart, prepare Him room and He comes to make His blessings flow” (from Joy to the World) "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15 "At this Christmas when Christ comes, will He find a warm heart? Mark the season of Advent by loving and serving the others with God's own love and concern." (Mother Teresa) God of all creation, You know the challenges we face and the weight we carry. Teach us to hold hope not as an escape, but as a call to action. Help us to trust in the resilience of the human spirit, and the power of your Holy Spirit at work in us giving us the ability and desire To show up with love, and to work for justice and care. Remind us that even small acts can make a difference, And that Your presence is with us as we face the future. Amen.
