Evening: Psalms 148, 150; Baruch 4:21-29; Luke 1:57-66
They are logging old growth forest in BC. My daughter, horrified, is a sort of prophet of a better future, where nature is valued not plundered. All his life, Zechariah (John Baptist’s father) has trusted the prophets who proclaimed their hope in a better future, but Zechariah is struck dumb when he doubts that his aging wife can give birth to hope. When John is born, hope kindles again; Zechariah bursts with joy and is silent no longer. There is yet hope of a better future for earth and its peoples. We proclaim that vision. Silence is not an option.
