During the month of December we celebrate the Advent days that bring us on a “pilgrimage of light” to Christmas Day. Four weeks of Advent time bring Lights that are filled with…
…Good News
…Life-Giving Scripture
…Transforming Messages
…Inspiring Witnesses
…Challenging Actions
…Heart-Peace Connections
…Inspiring Prayers

The Advent~~Christmas season is a holy time to be “transformed” as we dare to become more reflective of the light of God’s love in our ordinary and daily encounters especially those that challenge us and call us forth to rebirth Jesus love…just where we are.

O how will you and I be a Christ-Bearer of the holy lights of Advent~~ Christmas time?

Brightness of Being a Blessing

August is a month of sunlight.
This makes me think of the sun-light of the Beatitudes.
The Blessedness of the Beatitudes represent the heart of Jesus’ message.
During this month of August let’s be Beatitude People.

• Blessed are the poor in spirit…let’s recognize our dependence on God
• Blessed are those who mourn…let us be compassionate hearts with the “gift of tears” (Pope Francis)
• Blessed are the meek…be gentle of heart and non-violent
• Blessed are those who hunger and thirst…do God’s will with a just heart
• Blessed are the merciful…mercy is full of forgiveness
• Blessed are the pure of heart…express your faith in loving ways
• Blessed are the peacemakers…is a call to be a peace-giver
• Blessed are those who are persecuted…be a person who extends heart-peace

Let us strive during the last month of summer to be the brightness of Jesus’ Love by the way we speak to and about others.

May the sun-light of our actions be a wonderful, holy reflection of the “blessedness” of being. The sunshine of our faith lived with an open heart. Amen💓

July…the first full month of Summer warmth
Oh yes…fans and AC on but …
Let’s think of the warmth of Jesus’ love
It is a warmth of great…
…kindness
…caring
…understanding
…forgiving
…encouraging

It is a warmth that embraces all…
…sorrows
…celebrations
…weaknesses
…talents
…journeys
…wishes

This warmth is not …
…over bearing
…smothering
…disconcerting

This warmth brings…
…unconditional love
…eternal hope
…spiritual companionship

So for July… breathe in this spiritual warmth
Then…become it in your life
And…
No humidity of a hot summer breeze will
take away your joy of being
Jesus’ love for one another.

Breathe on me breath of God
Breathe on me anew.😊
