Awake, O sleeper

“Awake, my heart.  Awake, O sleeper.  The night has ended.”  (Rumi)

Dear Beautiful Savior family,

In the blink of an eye we have entered the oldest liturgical season of the church year, dating back to the second century.  The word EPIPHANY means manifestation and the dawning.  We have scripture describing to us who Jesus really is.  A showing forth of the Messiah to us Gentiles.  Let us at Beautiful Savior be present to the many ways God manifests himself to us throughout this season.  I want to leave you with this blessing: 

May you always walk in beauty

May you always rest in love

May you always feel at home

May you never feel alone

I do not at all understand the mystery of grace---only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.  (Anne Lamote)
