Scripture for Life: God has given birth to a creation capable of participating in divine life. Jesus gave a replicable witness to that truth. Like him, we need to pray without ceasing to open ourselves to grace.
Horizons - Can we dream of a renewed humanity? In this time of Advent, we are invited to explore our inner light and cleanse our gaze, welcoming both light and shadow with generosity.
We are called to straighten perverse attitudes and inadequate behavioral patterns of communication, as well as straighten the warped or broken relationships in our families, communities, presbyteries and society.
I think of the dormant seeds in our souls during this Advent and how, like the desert seeds, new growth comes with prayer and God showering us with his love and blessings.
Sometimes it is better to give and sometimes it is just as appropriate to receive. As we make our way through life's sometimes rocky roads, we learn to give generously and to receive with gratitude.
