Christmas Message 2011

December

"How beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of those who bring glad tidings
Announcing peace, bearing good news
Announcing salvation and saying to Zion,
Your God is King!
"
(1st Reading, Christmas Day 2011)
 
Dear Friends, Colleagues, Co-workers for a Just Peace,

Between the dark and the daylight
when Creation groans and the 99% awakens
when Spring bursts forth in the deserts
and landscapes change with comings and goings...

Comes a pause in the endless labor
a time to ponder and marvel God's favor -
the promise of Christmas, the redemption of hope.

"The Light shines in darkness."
Emmanuel, God-with-us, in our human condition:
the darkness of dehumanizing poverty, of violence
and injustice, of alienation and powerlessness...
reminding us of our capacity for hope
and inherent compassion.

May our hearts be an open manger,
a square for God to Occupy..
Our lives aglow with healing, forgiveness
And peace - God's love to glorify!

May the Joy and Hope and Peace of Christ
Be yours this Christmas and always!
