Life is a constant Advent season
Prayer
Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
whose voice is contentment,
whose presence is balm,
be there at our sleeping and give us we pray,
your peace in our hearts, Lord,
at the end of the day.
Life is a constant Advent season:
Life is a constant Advent season: we are continually waiting to become, to discover, to complete, to fulfil. Hope, struggle, fear, expectation and fulfilment are all part of our Advent experience.
The world is not as just, not as loving, not as whole as we know it can and should be. But the coming of Christ and his presence among us—as one of us—give us reason to live in hope: that light will shatter the darkness, that we can be liberated from our fears and prejudices, that we are never alone or abandoned.
May this Advent season be a time for bringing hope, transformation and fulfilment into the Advent of our lives.
Advent music – Every valley shall be exalted
Based on Isaiah 40 and Luke 3, this is a gently powerful work for Advent that quotes both the Old Testament prophecy and its New Testament fulfilment.
