Advent Day 22: Wounded Healer

A prophet of Israel wrote about the divine, “but he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

•

The divine uses wounds to make people well.

•

The story of Advent is about the arrival of the one who would become the wounded healer.

•

That means something for our wounds.

•

That our wounds aren’t things to be ashamed of.

•

That they are valuable, somehow beautiful, in the economy of the cosmos.

•

That they are redeemable.

•

May your wounds be made well, and having been made well, be the catalyst for others wounds to be made well too.
