Advent Calendar 22 December 2009

In these final days of Advent, leading up to the Incarnation, I offer prayers with our quotes. Today, we pray for Single Mothers and Fathers (like Mary and Joseph): May these men and women be strengthened with courage and compassion, and supported by a larger community of love, that their children may grow up to be prophets for the betterment of the world. Amen.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

~ Kahil Gabran

If the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus had known what was hidden within him, he would have stood humble and awe-struck before his soul.

~ Kahil Gibran
