Here’s a call to worship for Advent from Ann Siddall and the
Stillpoint Spirituality Centre and Faith Community.
Wilderness
We have wilderness and
dry land
at the heart of
Australia.
We may not venture into
it very often
but we know it is
there,
it has its place on our
maps.
More familiar to us,
however,
is the wilderness in
our own hearts,
the empty spaces in our
own lives,
the desert of longings
that engulf us at
Christmas.
Wilderness is a hard
place,
but also a place of
beauty and grace,
revealed by its sunsets
and sunrises,
the glow of ancient
rocks,
the moon shining on the
sand.
Do not be afraid
of the desert places in
your life,
for it is here
that the Good News
may be heard most profoundly.
May
it be so.
