Lord Jesus,
Master of both the light and the darkness,
send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.
We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day.
We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.
We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom.
We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.
We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.
To you we say, “Come Lord Jesus!” Amen.
-Henri Nouwen

uh oh, we’re a bit behind on regular posts, which means the speed of the season must be getting the best of us! We revealed a new seasonal theme a couple weeks ago, titled “He Came For This”. We’ve decided to expand these features a bit- As an approach to the Christmas Celebration, we’re hoping to post most days until the 25th from a wide variety of sources both inside and outside our community whom ALL SHARE a focus in this Advent period of waiting and expectation for Jesus. We hope that you’ll have time to check out some of them as a sort of “devotional” to prepare your hearts. If you have something to contribute in this area (art, writing, articles… yours or someone elses) LET US KNOW! This site is YOUR voice!
Today’s reflection is from author and speaker Diana Butler Bass. Get over the name, she’s got some cool things to say on advent and the tenderness of Jesus here… Happy ninth!
