The events of this year has been like no other. It starts with the end of last year at the 4th Precinct, includes Orlando, Philando Castile, Standing Rock, and an divisive election season. I wonder what is going on, what is going to happen next. In preparing for this Advent season, reading the Magnificat, Mary's prayer of praise and justice, has new resonance.
Can this season be preparing us to birth something new? Might the lowly be lifted up? Will the hungry and oppressed be blessed? Are we willing to risk vulnerability and uncertainty for new freedom?
