“I don’t think we’ll understand Advent correctly until we see it as a preparation for a revolution.” ~ Robert Barron
Do you see it?
Advent Revolution
Advent Angel
“Be alert for God’s surprises — messengers with messages that will startle us out of our complacency. My prayer for you, for me, for all those we love, is: Lord make us aware of the realities we cannot see. Send your messengers to us today, to help us, to protect us and give us courage, to remind us of your love.” ~ Lucy Shaw
Where do you notice God’s surprises?
Advent Peace
It is the Glad Season.
Thunder ebbs to silence and lightning sleeps quietly in the corner.
Flood waters recede into memory.
Snow becomes a yielding cushion to aid us
As we make our way to higher ground. ~ Maya Angelou, Amazing peace
Movement
“The movement of the Spirit of God in the hearts of men and women often calls them to act against the spirit of their times or causes them to anticipate a spirit which is yet in the making. In a moment of dedication they are given wisdom and courage to dare a deed that challenges and to kindle a hope that inspires.” ~ Howard Thurman
Do you dare?
On the edge of mystery
“We must be willing to constantly sit on the edge of mystery and unlearn what has helped guide us in the past but is no longer as useful now. To do this we must be willing to ask the questions that will open us up to hear the quiet, powerful voice of freedom.” ~ Robert Wicks, Crossing the desert
What are your questions to open up?
Whisper
In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.” ~ Howard Thurman
