Our Prayer:
A Blessing for the Coming of Justice
Blessed are we, starting to see the height and depth and breadth of God’s love that includes all of us, even the not-so-perfect.
Blessed are you, Mary, for saying yes to the big risk of being God’s dwelling place.
Blessed are we, like Mary, starting to sing our own songs of joy at the thought that maybe this Advent we too can start to trust it, to risk it, to live it out, the love that decides to love first, before it is earned or deserved, the love that your incarnation embodies to the full.
Blessed are we, breathing in the truth that we belong, and so does everybody else.
Amen.
