Love in Advent

posted in: Save the Date | 0

In Advent we look forward to something better than the suffering and injustice all around us.  We look forward to the kindness and generosity and compassion of God being fulfilled for all the peoples of the world.

In Advent we look forward to “peace on earth, and mercy mild”; it is the heart and soul of our faith.

In Advent, because of the good news that in Jesus the Christ God has entered this world definitively to make all things new, we see love in action.

This song of hope is what enables us to look past our fears and our hurts and our suspicions and view those around us with God’s compassionate love.

The love of God is what invites us to accept the invitation to join in God’s work of transforming all creation by making a difference in our corner of the world.

Will we listen to the Spirit’s prompting us to accept God’s love for us more and more and then to share that love with others?
