December 19, 2021
In these dark days, we are invited to encounter the incarnation–not only in the birth of Jesus, but also in communion, in community, and in everyday experiences of the divine. Emmanuel, after all, means God is with us. (Photo by Violetta79. Thanks!)
STIR: Stewardship in Advent
RCL Reflection for the 4th Sunday of Advent, Year C, Dec. 23, 2018
Yes, this Sunday we light the candle of love. We bring four weeks to perfect completion. What began in the dark with an audacious hope, continued with a longing for peace, and leapt and laughed for joy, now comes full circle with the power of love. For God did so love this world and every molecule and atom in it that God sends the son to dwell among us. (Photo: Joe O’Meara, Creative Commons)

Luke Skywalker graces the silver screen again, but it is Luke’s gospel that brings us a real blockbuster and a countercultural hero in an unlikely Prince of Peace. So sing with Mary and rejoice with Elizabeth because God is once again up to something new. (Photo: JD Hancock, Creative Commons)
