Last night my family and I loved experiencing The Lion King musical. It is a spectacular form of art. From the music, to the scenery, to the actors young and old….I’ve been looking forward to this show for a while, and it did not disappoint!
I count my blessings to have this special time off together with my family as we enjoy the magic of San Francisco. I recognize that our city does have its challenges, yet as a family we sincerely appreciate one of the many core strengths of the character of San Francisco, which is its commitment to the arts. In recent weeks we’ve enjoyed the A Christmas Carol, a Creole Jazz Christmas Concert, and last night The Lion King. Hakuna Matata!
I found this insight from Mary McGlone to be thought-provoking as I journey through these holiday weeks. She writes regularly for the National Catholic Reporter. Mary’s most recent article can be found here, The Nativity of the Lord: The God who dwells among us. Enjoy her excerpt below. Blessings on your week ahead!
“The evangelical message of Christmas is just that. God longs to be with us, God loves us profoundly and respectfully enough to share our mortal life. From such love, God has become vulnerable to us, never imposing but inviting us into a union possible only when God enters into human life.
The babe wrapped in swaddling clothes is a sign that God exercises power as faithful, loving committed accompaniment in vulnerability. And all of this, to invite us to become like the God who dwells among us, seeking to find a home in us.”
