Winter. The embrace of darkness and light.
Roses in winter.....
We gathered on Saturday, Dec. 10. And we celebrated the Magnificat!
Why not! We will not gather again until Saturday January 14!
So this was both our Advent and Christmas!
My being glorifies the Holy
and my spirit rejoices in God my savior.......
.....The Holy One throws the powerful off their thrones....
.....God elevates the humble and fills the hungry with good things....
In this reading from Luke, the Magnificat, speaks about the Transformative and Subversive Alliances among such wonderful pairs as Maryam and Elizabeth, Our Lady of Guadalupe/Tonantzin and Juan Diego and Immigrantes into the U.S. and their families in Mexico. We heard how one mother asked her son who would attempt to cross the US border from Mexico to make two promises: hike the mountains daily near their village to get in shape and secondly, memorize the Magnificat and recite it over and over throughout his journey. This prayer of risk taking and subversive alliances was our inspiration as we gathered for Eucharist.
What you see here are pictures, close ups, of faces amongst Sophia in Trinity. Catch in these faces the spirit of our community--a community of celebrants! Catch in these faces the Spirit that leads us forward.....
