Arise, shine, for the rays of God’s glory touch the earth.
We welcome the light that burns in the rising sun.
We welcome the light that dawns through the Holy Child of God.
We welcome the light that gleams through the growing earth.
We welcome the light that shines through saints and signs.
We welcome the light you kindle in our souls.
from A Holy Island Prayer Book, Ray Simpson
Arise, shine, the light of the ChristStar is yours this day. May you know the blessings brought by the Christ child in every moment of this day. Together, may we give thanks for the journey those Wise-Ones undertook; for the wonder that they brought us as they taught us new understandings of how we worship and who we worship, this day and all days to come.
Thank you for your presence this Advent, as I have relived their incredible journey. May Peace and Joy and Hope be yours as you journey onward.
(And I can’t recommend highly enough that you listen to this:
