THANK YOU!

I am what comes before sand and sandstone
Chickens and eggs.
I am the unproven truth
On which all proofs depend.

Advent comes again
time for watching and waiting
fill your days with hope

My soul sings in gratitude.

I’m dancing in the mystery of God.

The light of the Holy One is within me

and I am blessed, so truly blessed.

We believe in an Ultimate Reality,
a reality beyond our words

Leader: In this Advent season, we honor a time in history when people anticipated the birth of a child.
People: The child grew to be a man who gave hope to his people.

English and Spanish verses of the song traditionally sung as Joseph and Mary search for shelter.

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.

Peace is not an absence of conflict and violence. It is a set of relationships based on justice, participation and a recognition of our mutual humanity and inter-dependence.

Those who cared for, nurtured and protected us
All: They are always with us

“I didn’t say I created all that there is, and I didn’t say I was anything. That is what you say about me,” the voice said. “I am mystery and I am absence. There is no power to create in mystery and absence. There is power only in understanding the boundaries between knowledge and mystery, between presence and absence.”

The time for healing is now…

We worship and adore God,
source, essence, and aim of all things,
spirit that enlivens all beings.

Group reading…a commitment to live as compassionate beings.
