An Invitation
Thursday, December 24, 2009
"God came to us because he wanted to join us on the road, to listen to our story, and to help us realize that we are not walking in circles but moving toward the house of peace and joy. This is the great mystery of Christmas that continues to give us comfort and consolation: we are not alone on this journey. The God of love who gave us life sent us His only Son to be with us at all times and in all places, so that we never have to feel lost in our struggles but can trust that He walks with us...
Christmas is the renewed invitation not to be afraid and let Him- whose love is greater than our own hearts and mind can comprehend- be our companion."
Henri J.M. Nouwen
Merry Christmas!
