We at Sacred Sorrows join Sarah in remembering, "your sorrow is not overlooked by God." May this prayer give you comfort during the holiday.

"The holidays" are not my favorite. I really never thought of Jesus as my friend but one song seemed tailor-made for me & others like me.

Sometimes we need to allow ourselves a break in our rhythm of liturgical prayer for a sweet memory and reminder of how beautiful life is.

This time of year is a battle. It's hard to "turn it over to God." Every morning it hits me. Every day I seek for Peace.

Each year I try to prepare myself spiritually and emotionally for the onslaught of continuous "holiday merriment."

It seems that I am being called to exchange “even” for “essence” this Christmas.
