Advent Calendar 19 December 2009

A reading for the end of Hanukkah:

We gather in the chill of winter solstice, finding warmth from each other, nourishing hope where reason fails.

Grateful for small miracles, we rejoice in the wonder of light and darkness and the daring of hope.

Holy One of Blessing

Your Presence

fills creation.

You made us holy with Your commandments and called us to kindle the Hanukkah lights.

Holy One of Blessing

Your Presence

fills creation.

You performed miracles for our ancestors in days of old at this season.

Holy One of Blessing

Your Presence

fills creation.

You have kept us alive

You have sustained us

You have brought us

to this moment.
