Happy Soltice, darkness and light

Today is the shortest day of the year.  Indeed, the light is about to prove more powerful than the darkness, as we move into celebrating the Incarnation. As we do, let's pause this day and not pass too quickly by the darkness. For here where it is hard to see, where we feel the weight of the world, where the path is unknown before us, it is right here where we can often best listen to the hunger deep within we have for the Divine.  May we have that hunger to seek God, and indeed, follow Mary's example of bearing God into the world through Christ. From here on, the light will grow stronger! peace on earth.
