“This season, may every glimmer from the stars, flicker from a candle, glint through a window, sparkle from tinsel, twinkle from your neighbor’s decorative lights, gleam flashing from broken glass, be a reminder that Christmas is breaking forth of a magnificent light in a shattered and dark world." -Brian Lugioyo

“What if we view all of Advent as a series of Invitations from God?... This Advent we have an Invitation to believe--Invited to believe in the incarnation…Invited to believe that we are not alone…Invited to believe that God is with us… Invited to believe that God sees us as we are and knows our hearts…”
-Lilly Lewin
"Come…let us adore him. The Hebrew word for praise is tehilla, which primarily means 'to radiate' and 'to reflect.' God’s invitation, then, is to be radiant in reflecting God’s own tenderness in the world."
-Gregory Boyle, The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness
