Advent Devotional for December 10th

"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."

- Romans 8:28
+++++

"Marvel at our contrary orbits. Mine

salutes yours, wherever we pass or cross,

which may be now, might very well be now."

- Geoffrey Hill, Scenes from Comus

++++++

What does it mean to love God?

It means embracing with joy God's free gift of love;

It means denying the selfish devices and desires of our own hearts; It means running forward to meet each other at the frontiers of our being. What do you think it means?

(St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Advent Devotional, 2005)
