Advent, Week 4: The Sacrament of Christmas

Please select a line from Howard Thurman's reflection, "The Sacrament of Christmas."

I make an act of faith toward all mankind,

Where doubts would linger in suspicions brood.

I make an act of joy toward all sad hearts,

Where laughter pales in tears abound.

I make an act of strength toward feeble things,

Where life grows dim and death draws near.

I make an act of trust toward all of life,

Where fears preside and distrusts keep watch.

I make an act of love toward friend and foe,

Where trust is weak and hate burns bright.

I make a deed to God of all my days—

And look out on life with quiet eyes.

Which line encourage you the most during this Christmas Season?

Thank you Mike for bringing us another well-presented study during this Advent season. I always enjoy your sessions and find that although I learn a lot, I still have a lot to learn. Keep blessing us with your knowledge and joy. You are one of the best, Mike!!
