Entering Advent!
"Sloughing Towards Bethlehem!"
"Christians/Catholic Workers Gone Bad!"
"The Peace That Passes All Understanding!"
Philippians 4:4–7
4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice! 4:5 Let everyone see your gentleness.4 The Lord is near! 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. 4:7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds5 in Christ Jesus.

"To Enter Advent We Have To Leave Fear For Faith (Sam Portaro)!"
------------------------------------
Advent is the season for the preparation for the coming of New Light and Life into the world, celebrating the birth of Christ!
It is difficult to comprehend we are in Advent when Christmas music starts before Thanksgiving in restaurants and stores; bombardment by every store with Christmas gifts, Christmas is simply a material time.
For me "To Enter Advent We Have To Leave Fear For Faith (Sam Portaro)!"
I have many fears. The fear of being disabled; fear of being murdered; fear of paralysis, fear of not having friends, and the fears continue.
Only as I let go of fear and embrace my faith in Jesus, I enter Advent! Advent is a time of remembering the coming into the world of Jesus, the One who has called, and nurtured me.
In entering the Advent of faith, I see the presence of Christ in every person I meet, all of us have the spark of the Divine within us.
On entering Advent, the pain in my own body becomes one with those on the street, and I move out feeding, listening, and showing love. Advent puts us second!
So I invite you to enter Advent and let:
the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds5 in Christ Jesus. Deo Gratias! Thanks be to God!

about the struggle for power and security, and
about love, the way others do? The easiest answer
