Savior
I wouldn’t feel comfortable kneeling before a king,
but I am quite at home tender touching an infant in the
crib,
for long, deeply sacred, silent night moments
with angelic singing in my heart filling the room.
Another mystery revealed…
that surely God is a gentle presence,
loving, connected, intimate,
that God is not at all about power, authority, glory or
control.
To you, Dear One, I open my heart, my life
and I confess that each time I am with my grandsons,
Love saves me, saves us.
Reflection and Prayer
If you are a parent or grandparent, spend some time in the quiet getting in touch with your dreams for your children or grandchildren. (If you are not a parent or grandparent, skip to the next paragraph.) Notice how your dreams are of love, of God. Have a conversation with Jesus about these dreams, perhaps they have already
come true, perhaps they never will, or you are yet to find out. What does Jesus want you to know right now and how is he hoping you will respond?
