“Healing & Forgivess Are the Only Source of Life” ~ Wisdom from Walter Brueggemann for this first week of Advent

by | Dec 2, 2024 | Prayers & Aspirations, Religion and Spirituality

“Healing & Forgivess Are the Only Source of Life”

What to do while we watch and wait this Advent season?

Move from the large vision of Isaiah to the small discipline of John. If John embodies all that is old & Jesus embodies all that is new, take as your Advent work toward Christmas that enterprise: decrease/increase.

Decrease what is old and habitual & destructive in your life so that the new life-giving power of Jesus may grow large with you.

Decrease what is greedy, what is frantic consumerism, for the increase of simple, life-giving sharing.

Decrease what is fearful and defensive, for the increase of life-giving compassion & generosity.

Decrease what is fraudulent & pretense, for the increase of life-giving truth-telling in your life — truth-telling about you and your neighbor; about the sickness of our society; and our enmeshment in that sickness.

Decrease what is hateful and alienating — for the increase of healing & forgiveness… which finally are the only source of life.

Holy & Healing Images

Two immaculate holy beings amongst a sea of those they served; these beautiful photographs of Mother Teresa with Pope John Paul II were taken during the Pope’s historic visit to Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity’s home for the destitute & dying in the slums of Calcutta, on February 3, 1986. By French photographer François Lochon.

I could stare at these beautiful examples of God’s love here on Earth all day!
With Mother Teresa in Calcutta, India, February 3, 1986

Happy Birthday to this dude. Also known as Mr. Donald, Uncle Donut, the Coral Tree Cookie Man & Madeleine-maker, the Old Man of the Sea, and most importantly, my most precious dad.

On behalf of all of us at Coral Tree, let me express how grateful I am for this kind father, protector, and provider who has been a rock for me in this life. And who makes the yummiest Boerie roll you’ve ever had.
