Merry Epiphany!
May you discover, slowly and kindly, that realness is born where love abides. As the years touch you, as the heart grows tender through joy and grief, may the shine that once sought perfection give way to a deeper radiance—the beauty of one who has been faithfully held.

May you trust that the Holy One did not arrive as one merely passing through, but as One willing to learn the weight of a human body, the ache of longing, the gift of friendship, the cost of compassion. (1/2)

May you discover, slowly and kindly, that realness is born where love abides.
May you sense, in the marrow of your being, that God has chosen to dwell within the ordinary rooms of the world: the kitchens filled with quiet conversations, the long corridors of worry and weariness, the tender spaces of laughter and tears. (1/2)

This Magnificat Meditation grew out of a question raised in a Mary Bible study led by our Pastoral Resident, Jana Atkinson Morga, early in Advent. I’ve been following it ever since.

Advent arrives with an odd kind of patience. It does not hurry us toward resolution. It gives us light slowly, one candle at a time, as if to say that seeing clearly takes practice. #advent

The soul learns joy the same way it learns hope: by staying present to what is real and still choosing to sing.
