Sacred Time, Friday, December 5

This year’s Advent devotional uses a new format. In place of longer written pieces, each day offers a scripture, an image, and a short meditation. It’s simple, flexible, and easy to enter at any point in the season.

“Like a great waterwheel, the liturgical year goes on relentlessly irrigating our souls, softening the ground of our hearts, nourishing the soil of our lives until the seed of the Word of God itself begins to grow in us, comes to fruit in us, ripens in us the spiritual journey of a lifetime.”  “So goes the liturgical year through all the days of our life.” 

Sister Joan Chittister

How can I be present with others this day

 and shine as a beacon of hope?
