ENTRANCE REFLECTION Christ climbed down Lawrence Ferlinghetti, from A Coney Island of the Mind
ENTRANCE REFLECTION Hope is an orientation of the heart… The more unpropitious the situation in which we demonstrate hope, the deeper that hope is… [Without hope] it is impossible to live in dignity and meaning much less find the will for the ‘hopeless enterprise’ which stands at the beginning of most good things. Vaclav Havel, Disturbing the Peace, pp. 181-182
ENTRANCE REFLECTION In the struggle to become Christ’s Body, we have only one weapon and one alone: Love…. Love is what first softened your heart and mine. Love brought us into the struggle. Love alone has the power to break hearts open so that we will all lay down our defenses and join in the cosmic movement toward a new heaven, a new earth, in a Holy City whose foundation is Love. Gordon Cosby,

ENTRANCE REFLECTION I have come to understand that the voice of God is all around me. God is not a silent God. God is speaking to me all the time. In everything. Through everyone. I am only now beginning to listen, let alone to hear. Joan Chittister,2022 Advent: Sleepers Wake
