The Gentlest Name: Rediscovering Jesus

Let us continue the work of Christmas every day.
The flame in my heart is the name of the Friend.
What is most soft and gentle is most powerful.
Therefore the glow in my chest pervades the galaxies.
All I want is to pass this flame to other wicks.
This is not my work, but the work of the Friend.
Brothers, sisters, our souls are like the myriad facets
of a vast diamond, and we are all made of the same light.
