Today’s Reflection: First Sunday of Advent – Advent is a quiet contemplative time of waiting for the Light that will come and shine on us Christmas Day, rescuing us from the great darkness and hopelessness we experience in our daily lives. Advent then is a very special season of hope that links the coming of the promised Messiah in Jesus with the coming of Christ into our own hearts after a period of preparation, and with the coming of Christ again at the end of time. — Brother Victoire-Antoine D’Avila-Latourrette, A Monastic Year.

Today’s Reflection: The Power of a Whisper
Slow me down today, Lord,
and whisper a word or two – or more,
in the quiet of my mind and heart…
When I’m cursing myself or others,
whisper words of blessing…
When I’m judging another’s words and deeds,
whisper words of patience…
When my voice is still and silent,
whisper words that I might speak…
When I’m saying much too much,
whisper words to shut me up…
When I’ve failed and when I’ve sinned,
whisper words of pardon…
When I’m facing loss and grief,
whisper words of consolation…
When I’m stuck in my own foolishness,
whisper words of wisdom…
When I’m confounded and confused,
whisper words of counsel…
When I’m caught up in my lies,
whisper words of truth.
When life is just too tough to take,
whisper words of hope…
When my heart is broken, hurt and wounded,
whisper words of healing…
When I’m at war with my neighbor or myself,
whisper words of peace…
Slow me down, Lord,
and help me find a quiet place to hear
the whisper of your word…
Slow me down today, Lord,
and whisper a word or two – or more,
in the quiet of my mind and heart…
Amen. — Rev. Austin Fleming.

Today’s Reflection: Let your God love you
Be silent.
Be still.
Alone.
Empty
before your God.
Say nothing.
Ask nothing.
Be silent.
Be still.
Let your God look upon you.
That is all.
God knows.
God understands.
God loves you with an enormous love
and only wants to look upon you
with that generous love.
Quiet.
Be still.
Let your God love you.— Edwina Gately.
