#AdventWord #Patience Patience is that reminder that we are not in control, that our lives do not always happen according to our schedule. The experiences of the prophets, Mary, Joseph, shepherds and Magi remind us that we exist in God’s time. Living in kairos time requires our prayer, our attention and most certainly our patience as we recognize God’s presence, as we allow the Holy Spirit to guide our lives. All eyes on Canon Mark! This is Canon Mark Stevenson, canon to Presiding Bishop Michael Curry – and very well-deserving of a special gold medal in the Patience department! In … Continue reading Advent Word 2020, Day 10 ‘Patience’
#AdventWord #Comfort Our times are marked with anxiety under the constraints of COVID-19 as the days grow darker toward the winter solstice. While we cry out into the night, we know God’s glory will soon be revealed. Be comforted and patient. The one whom we wait for brings mercy, forgiveness, truth, and peace. With the consolation we receive from God, and strengthened by the hope of the prophets, we comfort those in any trouble (2 Cor. 1:3). Restore your outlook, speak tenderly, and be kind. “All shall be well, and all matters of things shall be well” (Julian of Norwich). … Continue reading Advent Word 2020, Day 9 ‘Comfort’

See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, … Continue reading Advent Word 2020, Day 8 ‘Speak’
