Winter Solstice

Reflection

“The winter solstice is the time of ending and beginning, a powerful time – a time to contemplate your immortality. A time to forgive, to be forgiven, and to make a fresh start. A time to awaken.”  ~ Frederick Lowe

Prayer

Lord of all seasons, today begins the winter season. We ask that you transform our hearts as the season transforms the landscape. Encourage us, through the gift of your Spirit, to see in this new season an opportunity for a new beginning. Give us the courage to embrace the time to come, to spend time in quiet reflection and compassionate action, and to let the chill of winter inspire hope for the warmth of spring. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on the coming winter season and my hopes for this new beginning.
