What's Happening this Season...

Winter is Cold! First, at the beginning of the winter months, the atmosphere becomes so nice: we decorate our yards, houses with lights and greens, we get together with family and friends for Advent parties, hot wine, cookies. We celebrate Christmas with the family, singing Christmas carols, listening (or playing) the classical or jazzy Christmas music we so love. And then comes January. We undecorated - the lights are put out, decor is stored away…. But the winter just started: we’re left with the cold outside, Christmas music gone, and life goes on.
Life goes on - in this moment of time, these weeks we still remember the light when everything is dark. The light within us that we can share with each other in solidarity. And we may share the light that we experience through Jesus’s stories of solidarity. We hear about God’s expectations for human solidarity and unity; we hear about God’s calling of people in Judea - and God’s calling of every one of us to be part of a community that seeks to make the world a better, more peaceful, and more just place every day. Martin Luther King, Jr. is but one figure in our history that sought to keep that light of solidarity shining. |
