Advent Word 2022, Day 29 ‘Emmanuel’ δ»₯ι¦¬ε…§εˆ©

Catherine Lee

#AdventWord #Emmanuel #δ»₯ι¦¬ε…§εˆ© ‘Emmanuelβ€”God is with us. Really? Is this true? During these last few years political uprisings, poverty, harsh climate change, COVID-19, and endless hate crimes have taken a toll on almost everyone. Nonetheless, God is with us. And we as Christians can reassure the rest of the world of this in one simple way: In our actions. We may be called to act in different ways, but for me, I will wave the pride flag in support of the LGBT community and stand against gun violence, unapologetically proclaim Black Lives Matter, raise awareness of the refugee crisis, and … Continue reading Advent Word 2022, Day 29 ‘Emmanuel’ δ»₯ι¦¬ε…§εˆ©

December 2020 flashed past in a whirl of activities, but when I read last year’s blog post of Advent & Christmas 2019, this year seems so quiet in comparison. December 2019 was jam-packed full! This year things were quieter, partly … Continue reading Advent & Christmas 2020 πŸŽ„πŸ•―οΈπŸŽ…πŸ¦ŒπŸŽβ›„πŸŒŸβ›ͺπŸ””πŸ€ΆπŸŽΆπŸ‘Ό

Advent Word 2020, Day 26 ‘Proclaim’

Catherine Lee

#AdventWord #Proclaim β€œMy soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.” This Advent season is a good moment to pause and listen to Mary’s proclamation. Do we sometimes think we are insignificant? Listen to Mary’s affirmation that God is deeply interested in us. Do we wonder what we should be doing with our lives? Listen to Mary’s words as she explains what God wants to do with this world of ours. Then we need to be ready to proclaim this good news to others. Although Christmas can be a moment of joy, many people are missing someone they love, struggling to … Continue reading Advent Word 2020, Day 26 ‘Proclaim’

Advent Word 2020, Day 25 ‘Holy’

Catherine Lee

#AdventWord #Holy My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. Mary sang in praise of God:And holy is his Name.Gracious God, what is our song,Now in this time of weeping?In our night of pain and grief,Faithful voices rise toward starry skies:In you, O Holy One, we put our trust.Can we find once more your promise of mercy?A new light shines in the darkness –Together, we wait and rejoice. The Nativity Scene here at Advent Church, Tamsui, Taipei Continue reading Advent Word 2020, Day 25 ‘Holy’
