– Br. Michael, ofm

The Autumn Equinox with its equal balance of light and darkness calls us to consider:

• What is out of balance in our life?
• What light do wee need to carry with us into the darkness?
• What are we harvesting during this autumn?
• What are we preparing to let go of or let be dormant for a season?

As the season of autumn and harvesting unfolds, we become attentive to moments which have slipped passed. We honour them and release them to God.

As we enter this autumn time, we take note of the changes in weather and colour. We pause to ponder what changes we are facing.

As day light lessens, we cherish the gift of light a bit more. We contemplate how light meets us and how we let our light shine.

Lord,

in this season

help us to be attentive,

guide us with clarity

and freedom to release.

Amen.
