Sacred Time, Thursday, December 4

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.

In the gift of this new day,

in the gift of the present moment,

in the gift of time and eternity intertwined

let us be grateful

let us be attentive

let us be open to what has never happened before,

in the gift of this new day,

in the gift of the present moment, in the gift of time and eternity intertwined  

Sounds of the Eternal: A Celtic Psalter – John Phillip Newell

How can I be present with others this day

and shine as a beacon of hope?
