ENTRANCE REFLECTION There is a hard truth to be told: before spring becomes beautiful, it is plug ugly, nothing but mud and muck. I have walked in the early spring through fields that will suck your boots off, a world so wet and woeful it makes you yearn for the return of ice. But in that muddy mess, the conditions for rebirth are being created.

GATHERING ENTRANCE CANDLE LIGHTING REFLECTION on-going process of salvation, while the nativity is the once-for-all-historical event of Bethlehem.
