Divine Light,
Lover of the universe Love incarnate Love that is alive all over our world today: Warm our hearts and melt our indifference. Ignite love within us that is big enough to overcome our smallness, and big enough to extend to all the earth and all our more-than-human neighbours. Luminous Love, shine deep within, with a light that shares the darkness with a graciousness that does not overpower. May we, too, be bearers of the Light. Amen.

Divine Light,
In these darkening days, We pray that you would ignite joy In our hearts and world. We know that this season Isn’t always joyful, But we pray that we might find joy in simple ways - Joy in a glimpse of a red cardinal, Joy in fresh air in our lungs, Joy in the sweet taste of chocolate, Joy in a candle’s light in the window, Joy in reading a book with a child, Joy in the sun breaking through the clouds, Joy in the warmth of a cat on your lap, Joy in steam swirling from a cup of tea, Joy in snowflakes falling from the sky, Joy in time with friends, Joy in finding tiny tracks in the snow, Joy in the scent of cinnamon, Joy in a silent night sky, Joy in awakening to greet a new day. May each moment of joy be a reminder of your presence and of the sacred beauty of your incarnation in our world. Amen. - Wendy Janzen Divine Light,

This Advent season ignite hope in our lives and in our world: in all the places where we are broken, hurting, and overwhelmed. Things are a mess, God, and it is tempting to turn away, avert our eyes, avoid the truth. It is in the midst of messiness that we light a candle, acknowledging our grief and longing for hope in the same breath. We hold out for hope that will outshine despair and desecration. May our hope in your presence carry us through these days, lighting our way. Amen. - Wendy Janzen |
