Seeking a "renewed spirituality" in this season of Advent
"A renewed Christian spirituality will be a spirituality of justice and of peace. It will seek to know and follow God in the pursuit of justice for all people, in the struggle against racism and other forms of domination, in the movement for world peace and nuclear disarmament, and in the campaign against poverty and inequality. In the struggles for a more human world, a renewed spirituality will come to discern the face of God, the holy and just one, and to share the peace of God which passes all understanding."
Thus, it stands to reason that a spirituality in need of renewal will care little about justice or peace, denies the reality of racism, is unconcerned about war and the spread of nuclear weapon, and steps over the poor as the Rich Man stepped over Lazarous every morning.
In some ways, that must be the state of my own spirit; therefore, I stand in need of renewal.
Fill me anew, O Holy Spirit, in this season of Advent.
Grace and peace ...
