SEASON OF ADVENT (Christmas Day)

                                                       Sunday, December 25, 2011
                      Today is Christmas!
                                            A MESSAGE FROM SILENT UNITY

   Today we celebrate God's gift to all humankind. Today we honor and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ---our Master Teacher and Way Shower. With his birth, divine light and love entered our world to illuminate the ultimate reality and to show all people the way to harmony and to peace and goodwill on earth.
  
   Today we celebrate the Christ, the divine principle, that is born--- and reborn---in us whenever we realize its mighty presence and power. This gift is ours in each moment, to discover and express its inherent qualities of new life, boundless love, unceasing joy, divine wisdom, eternal peace and more.

   Today we celebrate the Christ in one another by encouraging an awakening to our divine potential through loving acceptance and gentle example.

   This Christmas and always, we open ourselves to fully experience the beauty and joy of the Christ presence within and around us. Our hearts delight in the love of Christ within and the opportunity to express this love to others.

To you is born this day in the city of David a Savior.            ---Luke 2:11
