an advent blessing
The world has given up hoping
and maybe we have too.
In this advent
be blessed with courage to hear the call of faith -
to believe that love is being shaped right now
in the womb-space of a waiting world
and to live as though the miracle of its birth
is waiting only for our ‘yes’.

Hi Cheryl
I love the words of this and wonder if you would be happy if I were to use them as the final blessing in our Advent Taize Prayer service on Sunday night in Rochester cathedral?
