For this Advent season, we acknowledge we are living in troubled times.
May we all be reminded of God's tremendous Gift of Love
through these diverse Advent daily meditations.
~ FIRST WEEK OF ADVENT ~
HOPE in troubled times...
Let the Star
of Morning Rise

Lord God,
In the deepest night
There rises the star of morning,
Of birth,
The herald of a new day you are making,
A day of great joy dawning
In yet faint shafts
Of light and love.
 
I hear whispers of peace in the stillness,
Fresh breezes of promise
Stirring,
Winter sparrows
Chirping of life,
A baby’s cry
Of need
And hope—
Christmas!
 
In the darkness I see the light
And find in it comfort,
Confidence,
Cause for celebration,
For the darkness cannot overcome it;
And I rejoice to nourish it
In myself,
In other people,
In the world
For the sake of him
In whom it was born
And shines forever,
Even Jesus the Christ.
