may the peace of the season be with you

I was really moved by the reading during the lighting of the 4th advent candle in church last week. Here it is copied from the Bulletin of the First United Methodist Church, Pittsburgh
":Spirit of Life and Love, we have disconnected - from generosity, from joy from one another, from creation. Sometimes we fell so alone
And yet you bring us to community, to find and to give love immeasurable with a generous spirit and a joyous heart. Help us to remember that all matter is connected, that we are never alone, for the whole of creation moves in and through us in every moment. May we return this immense love in the compassion, generosity, and justice that we offer to the world.
In the true belief that someday this world can become a Beloved Community that holds us all in care, we light this candle of Love."
