Advent 2015: Week 3

December 9, 2015

As all the prophets of old

have foretold​​ it….

As John and Zachariah

and​​ Elizabeth​​ 

have promised…

 

The time is drawing near.

Hear the call to

come to the​​ Light

to​​ receive the hope

and to​​ encounter the

Dawning of the Peace!

 

Those with physical challenges

who depend on the support of others

Do you hear the call?

Are you coming to the​​ Light?

 

We are here but​​ we​​ are​​ unsure

of our value in this Kindom.

We seek to be a part of it but​​ 

​​ We are unsure of our

place and if we belong here.

 

Come, you are welcome here

All are invited to the manger

of the new Kindom.

You will not be turned away.

 

People of all races and people​​ 

from all nations with traditions

as old as time are you here?

Do you hear the call?

Are you coming to the Light?

 

We are here​​ but​​ we are unsure​​ 

if we are​​ welcome or if we​​ 

will be​​ in danger. ​​ We do not know

if this new Kindom is for us.

 

Come, you are welcome here.

All are invited to the manger​​ 

of the​​ new​​ Kindom.

You will not be turned away.

 

 

 

The lonely and the weeping

hurting in silence and behind

painful masks, are you here?

Can you hear the call?

Are you coming to the Light?

 

We are here but we​​ cannot name

our sadness although it overcomes us

in every way. ​​ We have nothing to​​ 

offer this new Kindom.

 

Come, you are welcome here

Give what you can. You are enough.

All are invited to the manger

of the new Kindom.

You will not be turned away.

 

People of few means; who must

rely on the goodness of​​ others

for the basics of life, are you here?

Do you hear the call?

Are you coming to the Light?

 

We are here​​ with all our​​ needs

along with​​ our joys and sorrows

but we​​ have so little to offer

How​​ can​​ we be a part of this new Kindom?

 

Come, you are welcome here.

All are invited to the manger​​ 

of the new Kindom.

You will not be turned away.

 

The time is drawing near.

Hear the call to

come to the​​ Light

to receive the hope

and to encounter the

Dawning of the Peace!
