Blog Post 11/27/2022 - Advent & a 17th Century Mathematician Blaise Pascal

Advent began with Evening Prayer I, decide to enter into Advent with the goal of renewing your mind, heart & purpose.  2023 is the year of Grace, think about what Grace you will ask God for this Advent, this year.

Blaise Pascal said, “There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable, those who serve God with all their heart because they know him and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him”.

Pascal was a brilliant mathematician, but his writing on religion is enriching.  Blaise organized his reflections as “Pensées”, these were his non-mathematical ideas.

Many of us are both seekers and servers of God, and we will be until we enter the “land of the living”.

May our prayer this Advent be:  "Lord, may we praise You with our words, share You with our actions, and embrace You with our hearts & soul.  Give us the grace to look forward to Your return & be ready for it."  

 

May God Be Praised.
