Easter 2007 – The Light of Christ

April 8 – May 20, 2007

REFLECTION

Now is the time when the blessed light of Christ sheds its rays; the pure rays of the pure Spirit rise and the heavenly treasures of divine are opened up. Night’s darkness and obscurity have been swallowed up, and the dense blackness dispersed in the light of day; crabbed death has been totally eclipsed.  Life has been extended to every creature and all things are diffused in brightness. The dawn of dawn ascends over the earth, and he who was before the morning star and before the other stars, the mighty Christ, immortal and mighty, sheds light brighter than the sun on the universe.

 

– Psuedo-Hippolytus (ca 170 – 235 CE), quoted in "A Triduum Sourcebook,"

Epiphany 2007 – A New Dawn

January 7 – February 18, 2007

REFLECTION

When the song of the angels is stilled When the star in the sky is gone When the kings and princes are home When the shepherds are back with their flocks The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost To heal the broken To feed the hungry To release the prisoner To rebuild the nations To bring peace among the people To make music in the heart.

— Howard Thurman
