From Falmouth Quarter NEYM to Velasco Friends, Cuba Yerarly Meeting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We sent this Greeting to Velasco Friends\u00a0today, our hope is to send one each week of Advent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Velasco,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our prayers and love to you this first weekend of Advent. Tomorrow we will light the candle of Hope \u2013 remembering Mary\u2019s song where she says that the new life she is bringing into the world will \u201dlift up the lowly and fill the hungry with good things.\u201d Today our community is witnessing to this hope in two ways. During the day, there is a peace vigil in a store that sells assault rifles proclaiming the vision of our country free of these weapons and the fear that they represent. This evening Portland Meeting will gather for the annual advent celebration in which the children walk a spiral path carrying a candle and lighting their candle in the center, walk back and choose where to place their candle along the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this advent season, as we hope for the light that is already here and wait for the miracle that has already happened, may we each carry our candle of hope and place it where it will illuminate the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queridas hermanas y hermanos de Velasco<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nuestras oraciones y amor para ustedes este primer fin de semana de Adviento. Ma\u00f1ana encenderemos la vela de la Esperanza, recordando el canto de Mar\u00eda donde dice que la nueva vida que ella trae al mundo “levantar\u00e1 a los humildes y colmar\u00e1 de bienes a los hambrientos”. Hoy nuestra comunidad es testigo de esta esperanza de dos maneras. Durante el d\u00eda se realiza una vigilia de paz en una tienda que vende rifles de asalto proclamando la visi\u00f3n de nuestro pa\u00eds libre de estas armas y el miedo que representan. Esta tarde, la reuni\u00f3n de Portland se reunir\u00e1 para la celebraci\u00f3n anual de Adviento en la que los ni\u00f1os caminan por un sendero en espiral llevando una vela y encendiendo su vela en el centro, regresan y eligen d\u00f3nde colocar su vela a lo largo del sendero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En esta temporada de Adviento, mientras esperamos la luz que ya est\u00e1 aqu\u00ed y esperamos el milagro que ya sucedi\u00f3, que cada uno de nosotros lleve nuestra vela de esperanza y la coloque donde ilumine el camino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En Amor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
