FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT — Year C
*Alternate* Second Reading: “Leap!” by Drew Jackson
The dream is no longer deferred.
So we leap! We can’t help it!
It rises up from within. From deep, guttural places.
You can’t contain our dance!
Feel the pit-pat! Hear the tip-tap!
That’s the rhythm of freedom.
Let the babies dance! Let them tell us of salvation.
Let them lead us to liberation!
The babies are inviting us into the dance of a future on the threshold of birth.
And we will leap!
We will leap!
We will leap!
All the way there!
The words of Drew Jackson.
