You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning

Episode 827

As we approach Advent and the beginning of a new year in the liturgical tradition, we’re continuing a one-week series on Beginning a New Year. Today we’re reading a selection from TS Eliot’s poem, “Little Gidding.”

These things have served their purpose: let them be.
So with your own, and pray they be forgiven
By others, as I pray you to forgive
Both bad and good. Last season’s fruit is eaten
And the fullfed beast shall kick the empty pail.
For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.

As we approach Advent and the beginning of a new year in the liturgical tradition, we’re beginning a one-week series on Beginning a New Year. Today we’re reading a selection from The Rule of St. Benedict.

It is for us to train our hearts to live in grace, to sacrifice our self-centered desires, to find the peace without want without seeking it for ourselves, and when we fail to begin again each day.
