Advent 2015: Week 2

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!

 

Children, are​​ you here?

Do you hear the call?

Are you coming to the​​ Light?

 

We are here but​​ we​​ are young;

still growing and learning.

We have more questions than

answers. ​​ 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​​ 

 

Older ones​​ with many years, are​​ you here?

Do you hear the call?

Are you still searching for the Light?

 

We are here​​ but​​ we are unsure​​ 

if we are​​ welcome​​ with our

memories and experiences.

How can we still take part​​ 

even as our paces grow slower?

 

Come, you are welcome here.

All are invited to the manger​​ 

of the​​ new​​ Kindom.

You will not be turned away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both the employed and the unemployed​​ with

collars of blue and white​​ or​​ even none at all,

are you here? ​​ Do you hear the call?

Will you stand together in the Light?

 

We are here but we​​ are unsure​​ 

since​​ we​​ often do not know

how to be​​ with each other.​​ 

Will we understand each other

well enough to be together?

 

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.

 

Gay, lesbian, transgendered, queer​​ and

questioning people​​ of​​ all types,​​ are you here?

Can you still trust the Light?

 

We are here​​ with all our talents

and​​ all our joys and sorrows

but we​​ have been so rejected

that we cannot​​ be sure of​​ this promise.

How can we know the​​ Light will shine on us

in this new Dawning?

 

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!
