Divine Love-In Solidarity
You chose to come to earth
In the darkness, that we may recognize the light
To remind us of Your Eternal Presence
From the beginning of time
Ruah – breath of life
Breath of heaven
The Word that became incarnate –
Took form in creation and
In each of us
Your presence throughout the generations –
merciful and forgiving
gracious and patient
abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness
To remind us of Your Eternal Essence
A Mama Hen
A Generous Dad
A woman with a lost coin who hosts a party when she finds it
A father with two lost sons who hosts a feast when the first returns
You are Both-And
In solidarity, You came to accompany us bringing
Compassion as You enter our suffering
Hope and new life as You enter our deaths
Courage to build a new kin-dom
with justice and mercy
kindness and abounding love
And so we come once again this Christ-mas season
Knowing in You we find the Bread of Life
In you we experience the
Miracles of life
The healing of body, mind, heart and spirit
The Way of Love
The Way of Life
We come bringing you
our hearts
our minds
our very selves
And You welcome us
just as we are
As we adore YOU,
Mama Mary and Papa Joseph
lovingly adore each of us
and gently place YOU
in OUR arms
to be cradled
so that YOU may
grow with Your wisdom and grace
in us
in our lives
in our world
Your angels surround us singing the praises
And whispering Your truth in our souls:
We came from Love
We are Loved
We are to be Love in this world.
And for all of this we re-joy-ce with hearts overflowing with gratitude
Amen. So be it.
