Although not what I would consider typical first week of Advent themes, I found myself reflecting on the Holy Spirit and on the grieving process recently.
One mystery of the Holy Spirit is that members of a group, such as a community, can be sincerely fully convinced that they are following the lead of the Holy Spirit and yet have completely opposite conclusions as to what the Holy Spirit is communally inviting them to at a particular time.
Sometimes the path to acceptance of a situation requires muddling teary eyed through the murky waters of grief. Somehow trusting the Holy Spirit, (even after She seemed to whisper something different to the decision makers than to you) might help, too.
If the first week of Advent felt more like a long drawn out Good Friday, then maybe Christmas will also feel like Easter? Anything is possible, after all, the Spirit works in mysterious ways.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Many blessings! Take care.
