Advent : November 28 - December 24
Behold! Seeing Christmas in a new way
|
Seeing things with fresh eyes at Christmas time can be challenging since the things we see -- the tree, the lights, the stores, the creche -- are all so familiar. But we are invited to see these familiar things again, as if for the very first time.
As teacher / author Richard Rohr is fond of saying, the spiritual journey is not about what we see, but how we see. This Advent, let us see ancient things with new focus. Sunday, November 28 Look for the Ancient Paths Jeremiah 6:16-20 Sunday, December 5 Look for God on the Margins Mark 1:1-8 Sunday, December 12 The Difference Between Looking and Seeing John 1:35-39 Sunday, December 19 Look for the Signposts Luke 21:29-34 Friday, December 24 Look and Know God is Here Matthew 1:18-25 Did you miss a message?
