2022 Advent: Sleepers Wake

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

Christ climbed down
from His bare Tree
this year
and softly stole away into
some anonymous Mary’s womb again
where in the darkest night
of everybody’s anonymous soul
He awaits again
an unimaginable
and impossibly
Immaculate Reconception
the very craziest
of Second Comings

Lawrence Ferlinghetti, from A Coney Island of the Mind

2022 Jubilee: Deep Hope

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

Hope is an orientation of the heart… The more unpropitious the situation in which we demonstrate hope, the deeper that hope is… [Without hope] it is impossible to live in dignity and meaning much less find the will for the ‘hopeless enterprise’ which stands at the beginning of most good things.

Vaclav Havel, Disturbing the Peace, pp. 181-182

2022 Recommitment: Becoming Faithful

ENTRANCE

REFLECTION

Recommitment altar with commitment book and candles

In the struggle to become Christ’s Body, we have only one weapon and one alone: Love…. Love is what first softened your heart and mine. Love brought us into the struggle. Love alone has the power to break hearts open so that we will all lay down our defenses and join in the cosmic movement toward a new heaven, a new earth, in a Holy City whose foundation is Love.

Gordon Cosby,
Seized by the Power of a Great Affection: Meditations on the Divine Encounter, p. 41
