At the Rectory in this season of Advent, a Moravian star is shining in the darkness as we wait for the glory of the Lord to be revealed. 🕯️
Morning Star, my soul’s true light,
tarry not, dispel my night. . . .
Jesus mine, in me shine . . .
fill my heart with light divine.

Advent is a strangely thrilling season. As nature prepares herself for the long and frozen sleep of winter, the Church calls the spirit to awake. As the days grow darker, and light fails, the Church calls us to open our eyes to the rising of a new, glorious sun ⚓
