#AdventWord #CARE - Sunday, December 6, 2015

Today's #AdventWord is #CARE - Sunday, December 6, 2015

Take time to care for your spirit by caring for yourself. Sometimes mountains views and coffee help! :-)

AdventWord was created by SSJE (The Society of St. John the Evangelist) and is the Anglican Communion's Global Advent Calendar. I'm using it as a daily meditation, prayer, photo post, and a way to connect in spirit to millions during this season of light and hope. You can join me in creating your own. Just take a picture and post it with the day's AdventWord tags! Click HERE for their website and for their daily AdventWords.

A Prayer for Peace in Our World

A Prayer for Peace in our world:

Make your ways known upon earth, Lord God,

your saving power among all peoples.

Renew your Church in holiness 

and help us to serve you with joy. 

Guide the leaders of all nations, 

that justice may prevail throughout the world. 

Let not the needy be forgotten, 

nor the hope of the poor be taken away. 

Make us instruments of your peace 

and let your glory be over all the earth. Amen 

~from the Church of England

O Gentle Light

O Gentle Light of the holy glory of the immortal, heavenly, holy, blessed Father, O Jesus Christ: Having come to the setting of the sun, having beheld the evening light, we praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: God. Meet it is for Thee at all times to be hymned with reverent voices, O Son of God, Giver of life. Wherefore, the world doth glorify Thee. (Russian Orthodox trans of the Phos hilaron).
