The Christmas Radiance

The Christmas Radiance

Author: Centre for Spiritual Living, Edmonton December 24, 2017 Duration: 26:55
Luke tells the story of the birth of Jesus as a message of hope; when we think there is no turning around, keep going. When the angel Gabriel appears to Zacharias, he questions it. When the angel appears to Mary, she is willing and simply asks, "What must I do?" Mary and Joseph represent what must change for a new shift to take place. They went through great hardships because of Jesus---they were cast out of their tribe, lost their privileges, and were rejected. Like Mary, we are all pregnant with the Christ, and we can choose to have faith and hope and be willing to go through some darkness in order to experience the new radiance.

Hosted by the Centre for Spiritual Living, Edmonton, the Spiritual Living Podcast Archive offers a quiet space for reflection within a busy world. This collection stems from a community that deeply honors diverse paths to the sacred, finding unity in the shared human yearning for connection. You’ll hear explorations that bless all teachings and teachers, recognizing that whether one lights a candle, faces the east, burns incense, repeats a mantra, lights a menorah, or offers a prayer, there is no wrong way to worship. Each conversation or talk in this podcast respects the multitude of ways to draw closer to Spirit, gently examining how seemingly different paths often lead to the same destination of peace and understanding. It’s an auditory expression of a philosophy that sees the divine in every tradition, inviting you to consider your own spiritual journey through a lens of inclusive wisdom. Tune in to find thoughtful perspectives that feel more like a meaningful dialogue than a lecture, all curated from a place of genuine respect and curiosity.
