It is drawing near to Christmas as I write, and once again the Advent Candles, the Crib and the Tree are warming us with their glow, bathing us in peace.
Yes -the Oasis vision is all about Peace; the real Peace that begins deeply in the heart and radiates out into the world to touch others.So The Oasis is bound to Peace,
and the promise of the vision is certainly that this real Peace will ultimately prevail. How we need it and long for it, but at times it seems so far away.
This Peace needs to be worked for, and it seems that the closer we move to it the more we realise how vital it is and how meaningless life is without it. It can only really be experienced when we are at peace with ourself, and this journey to self discovery and wholeness of being seems so difficult.
Th Oasis vision places Love at the very centre of this discovery because it is the only Reality and the essential motivational force that gives meaning and body to existence. The Christmas Message is all about Love, a Love that is mightily powerful and all pervasive in its Spirit. So at this beautiful time we are able to steep ourself in this Love letting it pervade our being and move us into a communion with God, each other and life that can give us this Peace we are longing for.
So please know that from the Oasis, the Light of this Love radiates warmly, wishing all to be encompassed by it protective strength and its fervent desire to share with everyone this beautiful moment of peace.---Happy Christmas to everyone.
Maureen.
