Description
Introduction
Are you tired of the same old holiday routine? Year after year, we wait for the baby Jesus, but what if there's more to Advent than sentimentality? In 'Preparing for Christmas with Richard Rohr,' acclaimed author and spiritual leader Richard Rohr challenges us to shift our focus to the adult Christ, the cosmic Christ who calls us to empty ourselves and surrender.
Understanding Advent
According to Rohr, Advent is a time of expectation and anticipation, not just for the birth of Jesus, but for the deeper spiritual journey that lies ahead. Rather than simply waiting for the baby Jesus, Rohr invites us to prepare our hearts for the presence of the adult Christ, who challenges us to let go of our ego and embrace a life of selflessness.
The Cosmic Christ
What exactly does Rohr mean by the term 'the cosmic Christ'? It refers to the universal and eternal nature of Christ, beyond the historical figure of Jesus. Rohr argues that this cosmic Christ is present in all of creation and calls us to live in harmony with the interconnectedness of all things.
Emptiness and Surrender
Rohr emphasizes the importance of emptying ourselves and surrendering to the divine presence within us. By letting go of our desires, expectations, and attachments, we create space for the adult Christ to enter our lives and transform us from within.
