From Darkness to Light
ADVENT and the 12 Days of Christmas

“You beings on earth who are in deep slumber, awaken! Who among you has labored to run darkness into light and bitterness into sweetness?” Stop sleeping! Wake up! What are you waiting for? the Zohar

This week we contemplate Peace
MESSAGE – Symbol of the Soul
Your personal symbol of light is a mirror of your inner fire.
Our Advent Booklet invites us today to become aware of the song : Silent night. Holy night. All is calm. All is bright. Then notice the stillness of a dark night, a shining star lighting the sky.
Rev. Dale Worley reminds us that at this time of year, we celebrate the arrival of light into a dark world. This is the beginning of a story, but this story is not only about Jesus; it’s also about you. The manger can symbolize your open heart, a place
where peace is found when you take time to be still. Let the birth of Jesus remind you of this deeper Truth: that silent, holy night is within you.
QUOTES
Never fear to deliberately walk through dark places, for that is how you reach the light on the other side. Vernon Howard
ACTIVITY
Meaningful Symbol – Draw, sculpt, or write a symbol that represents “light in darkness” for you.
Reflect: What does “light in the darkness” mean personally for me at this time in life?
Reach out to a loved one – Connect with family or friends to share conversation and strengthen social bonds. Then, for 5 minutes sit in the silence and reflect. Do some journaling if you like. Listen to the meditation/song (above) at least once.
On this day of Advent …
I remember that I AM the peace I seek.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE
Personally, I find that it is important to have a focus or an intention behind any endeavour.
Spending time with the intention to care for my mental health and spiritual well-being is always an effort. At the same time it can be fun! Reading short, warm, and enlightening messages and affirmations, doing a short task or listening to a piece of music take only a few minutes a day but it makes a gigantic difference in my life. During these few minutes a day, I peek out of the darkness, the world full of woe, into the Light: into the Peace, Joy, Love and Warmth of the Divine Presence.
I am going to walk this Christmas journey contemplating on the Divine Light and enjoying the sense of Peace, Joy and Love that it comes with.
