Advent Reflections

The last Advent calendar window has been opened; the four candles on the Advent wreath have been lit; all the verses of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” have been sung.

Elizabeth...said, “And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” ~Luke 1:42

In these final days of Advent, may we direct the thoughts of our hearts not towards self, but towards Christ.

Because God is in our midst, enlivening and strengthening us with his love, we can face the future with hope.

Sometimes it seems that there are hoops to jump through at every turn.

Sometimes the give-and-take of prayer is a mystery.
