New Heavens, New Earth
Our Lady of Light, Beacon on a hill
The New Jerusalem, place of God’s Perfect Will.
The Bethlehem star hovers at night
Heaven’s reminder of Jesus, the Light,
Born in our hearts, Salvation and King
Born in our hearts, rejoice, let us sing!
Here Mt. Zion, the Glorified Church
Here the new Heavens, here the new earth!
“Be it done unto me according to Your Word”
Mary’s fiat again in our hearts can be heard.
“No greater Love than to lay down your life”
At Bellwether, we know, each soul’s worth the price!
The Father announces “It has begun”
Each “yes” we give, births Jesus, His Son!
His Kingdom on earth is now proclaimed
It is Love made visible, the Lamb Who was slain!

“I came that you might have Life and have It more abundantly.”
(Jn 10:10)

“Celebration of Light”
Advent Retreat
“In the beginning, God said “Let there be Light,
and there was Light and God saw that the Light was good”!
(Genesis 1:3)
On December 2-4th, Friends and Companions of the Lamb from 12 different states and from as far away as Canada and Australia joined us at Bellwether in Omaha, NE for a contemplative and Spirit-filled Advent Retreat, “Celebration of Light.” Pondering the Joyful Mysteries with Mary, Our Lady of Light, we prepared our hearts for a new birthing of Jesus through the four pillars of contemplation: prayer, penance, silence and solitude. We experienced the joy of being “gathered together in one place,” as we received a new outpouring of the Father’s Love through the Power of the Holy Spirit, to live as “children of the Light” (Jn 12:36) and to go forth clothed in the “armor of Light” (Rom 13:12) to make visible the Kingdom of God on earth.
Even the peaceful snowfall upon Bellwether during the weekend led us to experience Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart and the pure Lamb of God, Jesus, Who we eagerly await to come again in hearts this Christmas.
