On Sunday at 4:30pm twenty of us gathered in the Sanctuary for a beautiful time of singing (led by Alice Korfman and Joyful Voice), prayer and reflection (led by Rev. Anne Crosthwait). We moved to three reflective spaces to let go and receive. One of them was a labyrinth in the gym. As we walked, we knew that Light was breaking in!
What good is it to me? From Meister Eckhart
What good is it to me
if this eternal birth of the divine Son
takes place unceasingly
but does not take place within myself?
And, what good is it to me
if Mary is full of grace
and if I am not also full of grace?
What good is it to me
for the Creator to give birth to the Son
if I do not also give birth to that Son
in my time
and my culture?
This then,
is the fullness of time:
When the Son of God
is begotten in us.
