A wee book of some favourite Wild Goose poems and prayers for the Advent and Christmas season – a reading for each day of December and the first part of January, up to Epiphany.
Christ our Advent hope,
bare brown trees,
etched dark across a winter sky,
leaves fallen, rustling,
ground hard and cold,
remind us to prepare for your coming;
remind us to prepare for the time
when the soles of your feet will touch the ground,
when you will become one of us
to be at one with us.
Kate McIlhagga
