What a joy to be with you all today to experience and explore the =20
readings for Sunday. Thank you for your share and your commitment to =20
this process. Glad you were there! Continued Advent Blessing to =20
you! Sincerely, Dawn
Here is the poem I mentioned. We use the curriculum Seasons of the =20
Spirit, and it includes a resource called "Behold: Arts for the =20
church year". This came from the Advent 2008-Epiphany 2009 Year B =20
book, p. 6. It is published by Logos Productions, Inc. 6160 Carmen =20
Ave East, Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota 55076-4422. 1.800.328.0200

PATIENT TRUST
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end =20
without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something =20
new.
And yet it is the law of progress that it is made by passing through =20
some stages of instability=97and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you.
Your ideas mature gradually=97let them grow,
Let them shape themselves,
Without undue haste.
Don't try to force them on,
As though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you =20
will be.
Give your Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you,
And accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplet.
=20
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
