December 14, 2025 – "Love Is Why We're Here"

Rev. Kristin explores the profound role of love in the third week of Advent, acknowledging that love encompasses both joy and loss as interconnected expressions of our deepest connections. Through the beautiful story of Franz Kafka comforting a grieving child and the legend of the Black Madonna of Montserrat, she illustrates how divine love remains constant even as it transforms through different experiences and seasons of life. The message invites us to ground ourselves in immovable love, open our hearts as channels for giving and receiving, and recognize that love - in all its forms - is ultimately why we are here on this earthly journey toward the rebirth of Christ consciousness within us.
