Advent Breath Prayer: Dec 19
"Godburst," by Ann Weems
When the Holy Child is born into our hearts
there is a rain of stars
a rushing of angels
a blaze of candles
this God bursts into our lives.
Love is running through the streets.
Inhale: "Burst into"
Exhale: "My life."
Breathe in and breathe out the prayer today in short pauses.
Advent opens our spiritual eyes to see God bursting into our lives in ordinary and unexpected places. Where do you see Love running in the streets? Look for a rain of stars. Listen for the rush of angels. Light three candles of the Advent wreath (hope, peace, joy) and let the light captivate you.
Dear God, open the eyes of my heart to see you bursting into my life as we wait for the Holy Child to be born. Amen.
Ann Weems, "Knelling in Bethlehem" (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1987), p. 27.
