In our liturgy this week we will be invited to take the Christmas story and make it work for us…to get off the merry-go-round of the familiarity of the story and even with masked faces smile with our eyes and give out the hope of the shepherds and authentic wise people….We will be invited to allow the God within and in whom we dwell shepherd us to be people of hope.

Liturgy December 5, 2021
This week as we celebrate the second week of Advent, our focus is on the character of Mary in the Christmas story. She is the one who ponders and stores all things in her heart. Deeply rooted in love, in conscious aware being, in God, she responds with courage and kindness, not knowing where her response of " let it be done unto me" will take her.
