Empty Mangers

Lord,

for the mothers around the world
whose mangers are empty,

Left shattered by the violence
Of a world still swirling in darkness,

We pray

Oh come,
Oh come,
Emmanuel

The video below is very hard to watch.

The video below is not full of holiday cheer.

The below video reminds us there is much to be done in the coming year.

A somber note at the end of Advent and the beginning of Christmas. But as we face the real and present darkness, so we free ourselves to receive the present and yet to come Light.
