My dear Friends
Glasgow was emotional and a little intense, so it was good to come home. I was sitting at my desk, writing, and suddenly I took the pencil and drew a line across the page. A line under what was now the past. I am looking to the future and my trip in june to Toronto.
I am glad it is Advent-a time to reflect and take stock. A time for watching and waiting, waiting for the Lord. The last few days have been homebound and quiet, while the world rushes around me. And of course it is cold, very cold for Cambridge. A time to pray.
This season, like Lent, is penitential, at least in the sense of gentle self examination. It is full of expectation, you can feel it in the air. The birth of Jesus is a momentous thing in anybody's life, whether they realise it or not.The Readings at Mass and in the prayer book are often taken from the Book of Isaiah, which make the most prophetic statements about the coming of the Messiah.'The maiden will give birth to a child, and His name will be Emanuel, which means God with us.'
A time to sing. A time to praise.
Hallejuah
