I Live My Life in Ever Widening Circles
Look I am going to
send a messenger before you; he will prepare your way. Mark 1: 1-8
The above passage
is taken from the Gospel for the second Sunday of Advent. As I review my own
story and my journey to faith and love of the historical Jesus, I am humbled by
the many 'messengers' who helped prepare the way for me.
But, as the poet
Rilke says I live my life in 'ever widening circles', and I am even more humbled
by the array of messengers from so many different traditions that are preparing
the way for me. These messengers are preparing me to situate my story in
the broader context of the story of the universe, and to see myself and all of
creation as part of an interconnected whole.
How is this
happening for you? Who are your messengers?
