"Seeking Wisdom's Light," this year's Pax Christi USA Advent reflection booklet, is written by Leslye Colvin, a writer, spiritual companion, and contemplative activist. Leslye's poetic and thought-provoking reflections will be a welcome part of your daily prayer life during the Advent season, and can lead to rich and meaningful sharing within your prayer community.

Excerpt from Sunday, December 1:

"We enter the season with the words of Jeremiah, the prophet: 'The days are coming, says the LORD, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and Judah. In those days, in that time, I will raise up for David a just shoot; he shall do what is right and just in the land.' (Jeremiah 33:14-15)

"Have you taken a walk and been surprised to notice new life from what appeared to be a dead stump? Have you observed a chrysalis hanging under a leaf, or the tiny egg-filled nest of a hummingbird? Do you remember the details of that unexpected moment? Was there a sense of curiosity, hope, or awe? How many others passed the same place without noticing the new life?

"We often encounter anew the compassion and mercy of the Most High God through our unique lived experiences and personal observations. With this in mind, can we ponder our faith journey this Advent? It may help expand the horizon of our compassion, fine tune the depth of our mercy, and release the burden of shame."

Leslye's writings have been published by the Center for Action and Contemplation, National Catholic Reporter, and U.S. Catholic. She weaves in her lived experience as an African-American Catholic from Alabama (home of the Muscogee) with a deep commitment to social justice.
