REFLECTION

When the fullness of time comes, a sacred voice at the heart of us cries out, shaking the old foundation. It draws us into a turbulence that forces us to confront our deepest issues. It’s as if some inner divine grace seeks out our growth and becoming and will plunge us, if need be, into a cauldron that seethes with questions and voices we would just as soon not hear.

 

Sue Monk Kidd, When the Heart Waits, p. 10

REFLECTION

We are the vessels of God’s voice, her words blowing through us, bidding us to tell the tales that only we can speak.

Jan L. Richardson, In Wisdom’s Path

REFLECTION

And then the sun rose and Jesus was alive and terror fled and the Resurrection was an inner brightness as glorious as the outer brightness of the Transfiguration.

 Madeline l’Engle, Bright Evening Star, pg. 190

Advent 2009 – Where is the Promise?

REFLECTION

She was five,

sure of the facts,

and recited them with slow solemnity

convinced every word

was revelation.

She said

they were so poor

they had only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to eat

and they went a long way from home

without getting lost. The lady rode

a donkey, the man walked and the baby

was inside the lady….
